Are both of these sentences correct:

1. It is likely that he will win the game.

2. It is likely he will win the game.

I know the first sentence is probably the standard way to construct such a sentence, but is the second version also technically correct?

[+3] - Region Philbis - 07/27/2016 the above sentence is woefully incorrect, however...

They are both correct. The first sentence might be seen as more formal, and more likely to be found in a written text. The second sentence would be more likely to be heard in conversation.

@destevez31,

Both are correct but the second one is more used while conversation.

@destevez31,

I think that they are both correct. Right there you omit the word 'that' and it is more there to make the sentence flow more coherent.
