I believe that it is quite certain that in KMW there's going to be one U
sheet of 50
U vampires, a R sheet of 50 R library cards and a C sheet of 50 C library
cards.
So, a total of 150 new cards, just like in the Gehenna set.

Up to now, there are:
7 Assamites
4 Baali
1 TBA
1 Brujah
1 !Brujah
7 FoS
7 !Gangrel
1 Giovanni

In KMW, it seems that the number of vampires released for each clan is not
depended on whether there is an advanced vampire for the clan, or not.

Additionaly, the fact that there are going to be 2 starter specific vampires
does not neccesarily means that there going to be 50 + 8 = 58 new vampires.

I am quite certain that there are going to be only 50 new vampires.

So, i believe that we'll certainly get:
7 Assamites
4 Baali
1 Brujah
1 !Brujah
7 FoS
7 !Gangrel
(all above are confirmed, bellow are speculations)
7 Giovanni
1 Nosferatu
7 Ravnos
1 Tremere

So, we have the TBA, who i think will be a Baali and 6 more vampire slots to
be
distributed between Lasombra, Malkavian, !Malkavian, !Nosferatu, Toreador,
!Toreador, !Tremere, Tzimisce, Ventrue and !Ventrue.

So, we'll possibly see 1 Lasombra, !Malkavian, !Nosferatu, !Toreador,
!Tzimisce and
!Ventrue, as up to now, there is just 1 type-4 vampire for each of them,
while there are
2 type-4 vampires for the Malkavian, Toreador and Ventrue.

!Tremere have no type 4 vampires, so we might as well see 1 of these
substituting one
of the 6 clans i have mentioned above.

Finaly, we might even see 1 Samedi replacing one of the 6, as there is a red
list Samedi
in the RPG (from what i've heard), though i don't think that this scenario
has many odds.

Comments are welcome...

What makes you certain of that? If there's a 50 card sheet of uncommons,
all of which are crypt cards, then I do expect there to be exactly 58 new
vampires (including advanced). The starter-only vampires won't be on the
uncommon sheet. They'll be on a starter-only sheet. I guess it's
possible there could be some library cards on the uncommon sheet
(something we've seen in other sets), but so far we're down to N without
seeing any.

I'll stand by my prediction of 58 new vampires. So far my other
predictions have been pretty close.

Well, i am no expert on predicting such things, i just speculate on the
facts that
i have got. I didn't know that in sets with starters the starter's crypt
cards are
printed seperately, though i sould have expected it.

Then we'll get 58 vampires as you say, my mistake, indeed i hope this is the
case,
as i like the idea of 58 new vampires better than getting just 50.

So, maybe we'll even see a new Samedi, that will worth the trouble including
him in
a nice deck... possibly or/and 2 !Tremere as there is none type-4 !Tremere..

Thus my prediction is:
(58 new vampires)

7 Assamites
4 Baali

1 Brujah
1 !Brujah
7 FoS
7 !Gangrel

7 Giovanni
1 Lasombra
1 Malkavian
1 !Malkavian
1 Nosferatu
1 !Nosferatu
7 Ravnos
1 Toreador
1 !Toreador
1 Tremere
2 !Tremere
1 Tzimisce
1 Ventrue
1 !Ventrue

and the TBA being a Baali, possibly an advanced version of
a new vampire of a clan other than Baali (e.g. !Tremere).
Like Vitel advanced is Lasombra.

All the above are 55, so the other 3 might be a Pander, a Samedi
and could-i-dare-to-expect a !Salubri... or just some 2nds of the
major clans...
