After Raphael's performance in the semi-finals on Thursday and her ascent to the final competition, it was up to the producers to decide the order of performances.
Eurovision Song Contest experts said the chances improve for competitors who appear in the later part of the contest and the Israeli team said the decision of the production to schedule the Israeli singer in the first part of the night statistically reduced Raphael's chances to win.
