It was considered in the past that the last position is reserved for songs likely to win, however there are exceptions. In 2016 Frans performed fifth in his semi-final, in 2014  Sanna Nielsen performed sixth in hers, and in 2013  Robin Stjernberg performed third.

Having said that, Loreen beeing last in the last semi-final leaves us wonder if she’s going to win it all again?
