Is there some guess of where it will crash?

Looking like North Atlantic?

There are still so many variables in play:

"At 7.8 km/s, just 1 minute early/late in the time of reentry = 470 km difference in the final location." https://twitter.com/AerospaceCorp/status/1391160460150382598

If I understand correctly, that is point is in the sea very close to the north part of Portugal. (And a delay will put the point over Portugal or Spain.) https://www.latlong.net/c/?lat=41.6&long=-9.3
