Will or going to?
Hello
I've come across this question and I'm not sure about my answer. Here's the question:
I think our school team......isn't going to beat..... the other team. They haven't trained enough for the match.
To me, "be going to" makes more sense as I have an evidence which arouses from the fact the team hasn't trained enough. It's something I've observed. However, there's a common ground which advises us to use 'will' to accompany 'I think' phrases.
Thanks a lot.

You haven't formulated a question, but I suggest that a native speaker is liable to use either future form there with the same intent and without a second thought. Note also, however, that we front negations, so that a native speaker would use this: I don't think our school team is going to / will beat the other team.
