I think that the trio will win simply because we - again - know nearly nothing about Malak.
Ok...he can control the Star Forge.
Who says that Dooku can't do that too ? Because many people tried it after Revan disappeared (saying KotoR DS ending is canon) ? It's most likely that Revan manipulated the SF somehow to make it useless for the Sith.
Ok...he killed those two Jedi on the Star Forge. Force choked one, Electocuted the other.
I'm sure that Dooku could have done the same thing (He force choked Obi-Wan and kicked Anakin while doing so - and they were both on Council level at that time). Hell...we don't even know how powerful that Jedi were - did they have to fight their way to Malak (unlikely because Revan and his company faced a lot of opponents on their way which would have been killed by those Jedi) or were they just captured and brought to Malak ?
Now what do we have. A Sith Lord with a considerable amount of power and saber skills on the one side. Another Sith Lord with a considerable amount of power and great saber skills, a Jedi Master with great saber skills, a Jedi Knight on Council level with great saber skills bein Mr.Chosen One on the other side.
For all we know (and have seen) Dooku and Malak are about equal. I don't think Malak would have the time to put Anakin and Obi-Wan out of the fight while having to fight a nearly equal opponent. And they are both able to give him at least some trouble in a lightsaber fight (the Mustafar duel was awesome) even if you have AotC Obi-Wan here.
So I think that Malak will lose that fight.

Because you know nothing about him? Whilst I can understand that, it does not mean that the trio would win by default.
No. But I haven't seen Malak doing anything that was more impressive than what Dooku, Obi-Wan and Anakin did neither with the force nor with his saber.
Yeah, but if you keep banking on Malak being weaker than Dooku by method of evidence and experience, KOTOR III's gonna come out next week and make him a sabergod
Or Lucas Arts develops KotoR III and Malak will look like a clown compared to the PT people.
The idea that somebody who trained lightsaber fighting and force use for less then 30 years should be superior to somebody who did the same stuff for 8 decades and mastered the style that is said to be the best in duelling force users is something I see as illogical myself.
