We have to consider that she hasn't faced any gods or any named characters up to this point that could really give her a problem. Issei has only lost one match and that was against Dulio. Sona has only lost one match and that was against a god. Rias has just gotten lucky so far. Someone's winning streak has to end. Whose is it going to be: Rias or Vali? I root for Vali. The reason why is because Vali's team is powerful as well. Crom Cruach is the only problem for them.

Now if it was Issei vs Rias, Issei's team has so many weaknesses against Rias'. For example Kiba can make holy swords and dragon-slayer swords. And plus Kiba has the Demonic Emperor Sword which also happens to be a dragon slayer. Nearly everyone on Issei's team is a devil. And Issei, Bova, and Ouryuu are dragons. Lint's Incinerate Anthem is a huge problem for most of Issei's team. Vasco Strada has a Durandal replica and his holy punch that could wreak havoc on Issei's team.

Now with Vali's team, him and Kuroka are the only devils. And he has an immense amount of demonic powers so he would have a high resistance to holy attacks and dragon slayers. He resisted s curse from the ultimate dragon slayer. And he's the only dragon on his team. He has Fenrir, who although nerfed, is pretty powerful and whose fangs can kill a god. And I feel we don't have to speak for the rest of his team. Well the current Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are unknowns, but I'm pretty sure they are pretty powerful. We can call Vali's team just as overpowered in a regard.
