This is classic Asgard (Personal preference), with Odin at the helm. No outside help from their ally's with the exception of Beta Ray Bill and Loki. (When push comes to shove, I think he'd side with his own, if only because his ego can't take cosmic police mortals taking over..)
Oa is the pre Blackest Night version, with 7200 GL's and honor guards Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan, John Stewart..... The usual. Also, the Guardians get involved directly (Odin would clean up otherwise.)
Seems fair to give Asgard the home turf advantage, given the GL's numbers (Even if most of them are noobs), plus The Guardians aren't any weaker for being outside of Oa as Odin is outside of Asgard.
I was thinking Odin would use the Asgardian Destroyer for this.. And really, of all 7200 GL's, how many are truely a threat?
Ok, what if I spotted Asgard their ally's too? Anyone who's ever been friendly with Asgard, but only specific to Thor comics. So Atum is green lighted, but Avengers are not.
Odin alone can bust galaxies, which is enough firepower to decimate quite a large number of Lanterns. Surtur has done as much as well w/ the Twilight sword, iirc. Loki's telepathy has reached across galaxies/dimensions. Then you have Hela who could raise the dead and claim the souls of dead Lanterns as her own ala some Blackest Night shit, and I don't see how this is a stomp for Oa at all.

At TIMES Odin can bust galaxies. One time, confirmed, another time retconned (as tapping into the power of the cosmic being Infinity) At others, he'll get taken out by magical poisons or earthquakes or some Dark Gods.
Given the average power of an Asgardian, this is terrible overkill with the Guardians. I really believe that the Corps, with the Alpha Lanterns, the Fists of the Guardians (robots), and maybe some of the other Guardian weapons could do the job. The Great Green Glob alone alters reality on a planetary scale.
i say Asgard should be able to fend off the corps not easily but in a down and dirty fight i say they can win so long as they are not the new modern Asgardians that appear no more powerful then a slightly peak human.
if the thor corps can be used and eric with his axe amp prior to death they would decimate a large number of GL fodder easy.
combined with magic and the aesirs and the rest of the beings in asgard they should be able to beat the GL.. they would need the pre retcon blue midgets to contend against asgard.
b4 they were killed off and remade by kyle back in the day when they were all able to do slightly more impressive construct feats then their corps men..
The problem here is Odin. Though, I don't think Odin alone can take 7000 Lanterns, Ion, the Guardians, and still live to tell the tale. If I remember correctly, a few guardians with a dozen Green Lanterns were able to stop a galaxy destroying blast, so if Odin starts poping those up, they will handle themselves.
I thought the thread starter made the correction so that Asgard would have its Allies.
Either way excluding the recent Siege arc Asgard does have a ton of Magical Juice backing them. Odin in the Destroyer with the Odinsword would be a nightmare for the GL corps to face.
He said only Beta Ray Bill and Loki. Well, if you look at Siege or their encounter with the doombots, it's clear they are in no position to fight 7200 mid herald. Add in the Guardians, Ion, and the Alpha Lanterns and imo, it's clear Asgard can't stand without Odin.
