I'm betting on Yuka and Mima, but I'm also thinking we get more of a fight than everyone is expecting. Maybe.... 15+ pages, not counting unrelated points?
I don't want to jump the bandwagon, but imho this match is already decided; note how Eirin mentions (in the previous page) that Reimu will need medical treatment asap, and how Mima appears shortly after. This may be either Eirin predicting who has the greater chances to win, or be just a coincidence (or even a Red Herring).
My bets for this match: - Yuka will likely refuse to fight against the fairies, because she knows there's a considerable disadvantage on their side (unless they do challenge her for a fight) - Mima will either scold the fairies (perhaps by saying how even Marisa could win against them), or go all-out like a determinator, or tease them (even though this didn't go well in SoEW) - there's a chance that the difference between the two teams in power and experience will help Mima and Yuka look like antagonists - Yuka will probably be slow but have a large coverage (kinda like Yuyuko, if you think about it). At least I hope she's not Mystic Square Yuka tier :p

I guess there's a chance that the Yuka + Mima team gets a perfect, if they're going to become antagonists (but still too early to tell), especially in this match. But Tewi immunity, even though it meant cloth-immunity, did get her a hole in her hairdo :p (maybe it was Tewi's fortune, that made the cigar not hit her face instead?)
Tewi's ability is giving others luck, not herself. And their main cause of losing was playing to their foes' strength (i.e. taking on an Oni Deva at melee range)

their main cause of losing may be to not be able to come up with anything else, or even being able to do anything once Iku senses that Yugi wouldn't stop fighting even if she were to burn from Tewi's alcolol. It would seem, to Iku, that they couldn't even run away from her, and that surrender was the only or the "best" (least pointless/hopeless) option they could take.
Also, Suika is also an Oni Deva, and she was defeated, though by someone just as powerful (Kanackers). So it would seem that Iku wasn't prepared for such a counter, even though she usually has a deceptive playstyle and range in her favor. Maybe she misjudged her opportunity for attacking, and did a bad decision/approach, not that the strategy itself is entirely bad.
