Predictions
1 (Qualify for Round 3) - Hungary
2 - Lithuania
3 - Poland
4 - Estonia
This is a good group, but Hungary is too good not to end up in first. Lithuania has the potential to finish in second. Poland ends up in third. Estonia had a great tournament last time, but faced a lot lower competition. They should keep things close, but in the end will finish in fourth.
