He fought the Sannin when they were much younger. They almost certainly got stronger in the meantime.
From what we saw of their fight, no Jiraiya-sage mode, no Tsunade super-mode, etc..
Until he broke out sage mode, Jiraiya had his hands full fighting just Animal Path. No reason for it to be different here, until he manages to get breathing room to summon the toad sages and engage Sage Mode.
Also, Asura Path was helluva fast. If Tsunade manages to touch it, it is splinters, but its ranged weaponry should let it keep her at a distance. I really don't see Tsunade handling both Asura and Hungry Path at the same time.

Preta is nothing to her, though- her taijutsu will crush it easy, it's ability doesn't really do anything to slow her down. By 'Tsunade vs Asura and Preta,' I kinda mean 'Tsunade vs Asura, after crushing Preta'.
