Elites have shields that recharged and a range of alien technology.
Predators have Shields too, in certain games (AVP Extinction for PS2) they get the Killscreen generator that tops incoming enemy projectiles. Plus they too can recharge their energy.

GGgrievous725 what sort of area we talking about here???A predator is a lone hunting alien, granted they do team up for big targets but most of there time they are on there own. Against a single elite then the predator would hunt him down.
However this is a war with an army on both sides, so elites won't go on there own, and usually will have a tank backing them up. a single shot from an elite would melt a predator. They have no armor that could stand up to plasma, bullets kill them. predator blades would kill an elite but the shields would prevent a shot from the predator cannon, and would force him to de-cloak and get shot.
Predators just aren't meant for wars. Just hunting small amounts of prey.
Ok, your talking about the combined technology of the entire Covenant here, not just Elites... As far as I know, the Vehicles are made for the whole Covenant, and thats not really fair... The weapons Elites usually carry are Plasma Rifles, Needlers, and Plasma Swords, Occasionally they carry the Plasma Carbine. Now, limited to that I'd say the Technology that is bought to the battlefield is in the Predators favour.

Elites should pull it off, if a marine can kill a predator and an elite can easily butcher a squad of marines well...Also Elites are adept at all forms of combat including sniping and lets not forget their superior starship technology and swords. Elites also have motion trackers which negate the predators camo. Elites (especially special forces elites) are adept with all weapons and vechiles, imagine 200 hundred spectre's, plasma grenades, sniper rifles the elites are more then well equiped to deal with predators, unless it became jungle warfare but the elites would just glass the forest.
That same predator butchered 6 marines before going down to the last one in the unit (And because it's Arnie, you know the pred was going down 😛 )
Predators also get vision modes like Predteh mode, this allows them to see cloaked enemies clear as day. Predtech mode > Motion Tracker
Predators have far superior close combat weaponry, the best being the Double Plasma Voluge and the Plasma Scythe. Plasma Voluge and Plasma Scythe both > Plasma Sword.
The Military Hydra (A heavily armed predator) Fires swarms of white hot plasma missiles that track targets and deliver enough firepower to decimate a Dropship. Hydra > tanks (If applicable), Decimates everything else
Oh yeah, Predators also have snipers called Hunters, these guys are very experienced Snipers that rarely miss, so the Elites advantage of Sniping just coped a headshot in their camping heads 😛
This combined with the other multitudes of Weapons Predators usually carry (Disks, Netguns, Wristblades, Plasmacasters, Medicomp, Ect) I think that the elites would get totaled... It would probably only take a team to detonate High Charity!
