In this case, you would use creer, to believe.

In the affirmative, it is not subjunctive, but indicative, because you are expressing something you believe to be true:

Creo que ganaremos - I believe (that) we will win.

Creo que ganamos - I believe (that) we won.

Creo que hemos ganado - I believe (that) we have won.

But, in the negative, it would be subjunctive, because you are expressing doubt:

No creo que ganemos - I do not believe (that) we will win.

No creo que hayamos ganado - I do not believe (that) we have won.
