Explanation

When competing for a place in a final round, the outcome is uncertain - you're striving for something but it's not guaranteed. 'I hope for a place' is the natural expression of this desire for a positive but uncertain result. 'I believe for a place' is grammatically unusual - 'believe' typically takes a clause (believe that...) or refers to conviction about facts, not striving for uncertain goals.
