Not saying Elite would win, but we don't know how Covenant cloaking works, it could mask the thermal for all we know.
Predators' masks can have different visions (thermal, night, etc). If an Elite's has any kind of electricity or holding anything electric the Pred could switch to a vision that saw electric stuff (like that one visor in Metroid Prime) and be able to see him even with active camo activated.

Predators are shorter, weaker
Did you see the new Predator movie?

Less in number as it appears
We don't know if the Predators only live on one planet or if they have colonized others. This goes for Elites as well.

Unlike Elites, they're lone wolves and all they've hunted are either really weak and disorganized(humans in an alien situation) or are pretty much rapid (aliens).
Predators don't always hunt alone. They are apart of clans and often hunt as a clan especially when hunting things 10x their size (T-rex size stuff).
In Predator 1, the Pred was hunting a squad of humans. He waited until one of them drifted off from the others before he struck, like a good hunter would. It would have been dumb to attack them head on. When with a clan however, they fight creatures and aliens that are very well organized. Aliens are also the ultimate killing machine and being able to survive a wave of Aliens is a test for young Preds to get acceptance.

Elites however are beaten up, destroyed and ripped apart by huge beasts (hunters when first encountered) brutes later in the war and UNSC strategy when humans have rescources.
Preds do too.

Elites also were based off of quite a bit of Predators, and when something is based from something they are usually better and more powerful than the original concept, so this whole thread is slightly unbalanced. Only a little though.
I just see Elites as Predators with lightsabers.
1: got nothing
2: I saw a pred get killed in CQC with a metal sword weilding human.
3: They have military colonies all over the galaxy (Elites)
4: Contrary to belief, Elites are trained to be masters of stealth as well, just primarily war fighters.
5: Elites, then, are at least equal to preds here. However, every test the Elites endure, save for mental disciplin most likely, even at the youngest age of training, is designed to kill them. The trainers want to kill them even as young children, in order wead out the weak ones. But this is probably the case for preds as well though, so they are equal in training.
6: So you see the Elites, who can steam role entire human platoons alone with just knives and fists, physically equal to the guys who get killed in hand to hand by individual humans all the time? But with lightsabers? (and shields, witch they are trained to be without as well; it is a Covenant comodity, shields, not an Elite one.)
