A Correct answer
Explanation

'Hope' is used for uncertain future outcomes we desire (winning the match), while 'believe' expresses conviction about something we consider factual or observable (lack of experience). The coach hopes for a positive result but believes in the negative fact. 'I hope we can win' expresses desire; 'I believe we don't have experience' expresses a judgment based on observation.
