Who's to say what's going through the mind of the person who wrote that job advertisement? If it sounds like work you'd like to do, it couldn't hurt to submit an application. If you don't hear back, you're not what they were looking for. The fact that you don't have what they posted for may be a deal breaker, but then again, it may not. As a word of caution, a lot of overly-specific job postings are written with an internal hire in mind. HR departments often require that a public posting be made, but the manager seeking to fill the position writes it in such a way that it's basically impossible for an external applicant to satisfy the requirements. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing, so you might as well apply.
