Well what about his chances for a tie, if it is possible at this point of the game anyways? With Roygun and Ravel at his side, Issei could opt to go for a more strategic plan, even if it is just simple.

I don't feel that he will win, but I also think that after Dulio he won't let himself lose again (we've yet to see how his game with Sona went but still). That's why I feel that he might have a tie.
