I think Klitschko is confident. Nervous, maybe. But I think he genuinely believes he's going to win.
To be fair he has some things on his side; such as the unknown of how AJ will handle by far the biggest event of his career, by far the best opponent of his career, and I think the respectful build-up has worked in Klitschko's favour too. I don't think he is comfortable with trash talk or when the opponent 'gets in his face' - see Haye, Fury & Chisora (wasn't even fighting him!). I think Fury totally confused him with both his bizarre personality first & then his unusual style in the ring. No chance of AJ winning any mind games here, doesn't seem to be his style. I see this as close to a 50/50 fight. WK is being written off too easily IMO.
Having said the above & my belief Klitschko that is a very live dog, my prediction was and remains an AJ KO win, but I'm far from certain. Massively looking forward to being there!
