On paper, there are a few reasons whythis Avengers vs Avengers fightcould go either way. In the classic Avengers’ favor, they’ve got teamwork, experience, and several heavy hitters, from Captain Marvel to Storm. It is hard to consider them losing against a newly formed team of villains. In addition,the Superior Avengers aren’t likely to stick around beyondOne World Under Doom, so Marvel might choose to use their story to make an example of why Doctor Doom’s regime is sure to eventually fail– though that is only informed speculation, and by no means guaranteed.
It would be a very Doctor Doom move to assemble his team specifically to defeat this iteration of the Avengers.
That is because it is never smart to bet against Doctor Doom. Sure, these are new characters to readers, but in-universe these villains could have been training under Doom for years. On top of that, it would be a very Doctor Doom move to assemble his teamspecifically to defeat this iteration of the Avengers. Finally, readers don’t even know what powers these villains have. If they’re anywhere near as strong as their namesakes, such as Onslaught and Malekith, then they could be just as strong as the mainstream Avengers’ own powerhouses.

Could These New Avengers Find Redemption?
There is one other option, which is that these “evil” Avengers aren’t actually so bad. Comics love a story where a team of villains playing at heroes eventually turn towards good on their own, and the Superior Avengers could be the perfect example of this. Itwould be just like Doctor Doomto be foiled by his inability to predict his “heroes” actual capacity for doing good. Even if this does happen though,it is not going to be before a fight with the realAvengers, which means that readers will get to find out just how capable these villains really are.
