WHAT THE LEADERS EXPECT FROM THE SA ELECTION:

OPPOSITION LEADER STEVEN MARSHALL:

The Liberal leader is the only one of the state election's three key figures to have expressed confidence there will be a result by the close of counting on Saturday, along with optimism it will be in his favour. "I'm feeling good actually," he told reporters outside a polling booth.

PREMIER JAY WEATHERILL:

The Labor leader replied "who knows" when asked if there could be a result on Saturday night. He's said he's proud of the campaign he's run but told reporters he will be "intrigued" to see what South Australians thought of it. "There's apparently a massive number of undecided people," he said.

SA-BEST LEADER NICK XENOPHON:

When asked if he was confident of success on Saturday, Mr Xenophon just told reporters he was "confident that I will give it my best". He also said he would be a "mug" to be sidetracked by a last-minute opinion poll that placed his SA-BEST party well behind the Liberals and Labor in primary support.
