The group, who release their tenth studio album Gravity this week, believe JLS will take the top spot because they are still a new band with a young fanbase.
"We expect JLS to win. Definitely. Twelve years in it's very different," Nicky Byrne told The Sun.
"When we were at JLS's age we had a very young fan base that rushed out and bought everything.
"We're learning that the older you get the more of a challenge it is. Fans are now older and don't buy every last thing you put on the shelf."
The manband's latest single 'Safe' entered the singles chart at number ten yesterday, while JLS's Children In Need single 'Love You More' took first place.
