Walsh, who has been chosen to mentor the groups again this year, moaned that his contestants were inexperienced and wrote off their chances of success.
"I'll get into the final, but I won't win," he said.
Speaking at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain awards at Grosvenor House in central London, Walsh said rival judge Cowell was spoiled for choice as mentor of the over-25s.
"He always gets the best ones," he said.
"They've all been round the block a fair bit. They've all got more experience than mine."
Cowell said: "Oh that's positive, thanks for taking part."
He criticised Walsh's attitude and accused him of not doing his job properly.
"They're not exactly going to have bags of confidence after this, are they?" he said.
Cowell went on: "It's not a question of being spoiled for choice, it's how you prepare your contestants on the day. And I prepare my contestants better than the others."
