Isn't it begging the question to say that 'will' is right because 'will' is used with 'think' etc?well This was a question in an advanced book (I changed the actual words a little...) and "going to win" was given as the answer, (in a sentence transformation exercise).
In my opinion "will" would be more normal, esp because "will" is used with think, hope , expect, suppose, guess, etc.
Of course I don't think that going to is "wrong". Basically, I agree that both are correct.
I've never associated either "will" or "going to" specifically with "think, hope etc".
I'm just as likely to say "I think I'll go to the cinema tonight" as "I think I'm going to go to the cinema tonight".
Is that necessary?
Thanks,
