I agree with Tengen, strats beating brawn is starting to get overplayed, and I can almost bet that it won't be playing any part in Issei's battle with Typhon. I would bet money that Typhon is just coming in there with power alone, no plan. Why should he? He's a god. Why does he need to plan to face Issei's team?

That is why I can see Sona's team beating him, but not Typhon's. The fact that Typhon's team are gods means they will probably underestimate Issei and he'll beat them, possibly with his complete DxD.

Sona may win, but like I said, this isn't Volume 5, I don't know how he can logically pull it off. At least Dulio had the strength to compete with Issei, Sona may just be in over her head.

I'm still waiting for Issei to reveal Roygun as part of his team, whether it be as a Rook or just an advisor, I'm sure Akeno and Rias will be upset given Roygun's status as one of the great beauties of the underworld.
