As Kasparov stated that a win of Kramnik against Fritz is simply a must,
anything else would be ridiculous (since Kramnik has the exact engine he will
play against) he is probably very sure that he will also win against Junior.

IMHO, both will lose - though this is a very risky statement, but I really
believe so and I like to defend statements that are ridiculous :-)
