First of all, we should know the origin of confidence is information which has facts, figure, logic's etc.

Confidence: having knowledge, facts, figure, logic on the opinion of a person.

Overconfidence: I will play good game and I will win the game.

Considering that your competitors are not good in game is blunder.
