Subjunctive.

Creer, pensar, saber, comprender, entender, reconocer, opinar, considerar, juzgar, olvidar, decidir, suponer, comprobar and many others are all verbs that require the Indicative when used in positive form. For example: "Creo que vendrá a tiempo." When used in negative form, however, they require the Subjunctive. Example: "No creo que vengan a tiempo."

IMPORTANT: If you use some of these verbs in negative interrogative or negative imperative form, then you should again use the Indicative. Example: "¿No crees que vendrán?" ... "¡No creas que vendrán!"

Well I would guess subjunctive but I don't know if one has priority over the other. Because it's a verb of doubt but it's in the future - Carlie777, May 11, 2012
You´re right! I would also use subjunctive in the question as well. - 005faa61, May 11, 2012
