The Victorian opposition leader Matthew Guys says he can still be premier, shrugging off two polls predicting a Labor win in the state election.

The uComms/ReachTEL poll published by The Age points to the government being returned with 54 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, against 46 per cent for the Liberal-Nationals coalition.

Labor is also ahead in another poll published by the Herald-Sun and conducted by YouGov Galaxy, with a 53-47 per cent two-party preferred outcome predicted.

But Mr Guy is having none of it.

"We have a very good chance," he told Nine Network on Friday.

Asked if he could be premier come Saturday, he said : "Yes. Categorically."

Premier Daniel Andrews isn't taking anything for granted despite the polls.

"We will be campaigning hard right up until 6pm tomorrow night to hopefully secure a victory and keep building things Victoria needs for the future," he told the Seven Network.
