Both terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but "hypothesis" is more specific. It refers to a certain kind of prediction that is based on extensive research. Usually, a hypothesis will also need to explain itself. After experiments have been conducted, the hypothesis will either be supported or not supported by the results. A prediction does not necessarily require the research and support that a hypothesis needs.
