Look, folks. Let's go down the list.
Stealth: Predator has cloaking, all right. Venom isn't a slouch in this department.
Optics/Senses: Venom has apparently very heightened senses and Spidey's sixth sense, Predator has optics and an exoskeleton suite.
Long Range: Predator's got a ton of guns, Venom can infect others with his symbiote given any landline.
Strength: Venom can lift friggin 11 tons. That means he can rip out trees and throw them, take slabs of concete, whatever.
Manuverability: Predator walks around. Venom can leap or sling.
Shields: Venom can make impromptu shields, Predator has armor.
Melee: It's strength v. bladed weapons.
Endurance: Venom is nigh-immune to anything but flame and sonic or powerful kinetic weapons (and has learned to adapt to those recently too). Predator's a pretty tough creature.
Guerilla Tactics: Venom ain't much for it, but he's not totally inept in this department either. Predator's a professional hunter.
A lot of this depends on the terrain, but any terrain that has any cover (city, jungle) means Venom takes it. The combination of slinging, a danger sense capable of dealing with sniper actions, raw strength allowing Venom to take ambient materials and make impromptu cudgels, and the fact that the Predator's slowest weapons are the only useful ones means Venom takes it.
Oh, and yes, the shoulder cannon does heat seek IN TERMS OF THE CANNON. Its projectiles don't. That doesn't really help the Predator.
