Erm you missed the point, Leia and Jaina share a very strong Force Bond due to being Mother and Daughter. Mara Jade developed a strong bond with both of them, especially Jaina. Combine this with all three's penchant for Battle Meld and include their excessive talents for internal amplifications, augmentations and healing. Essentially it leaves Team 2 with the best duelists, the best healers, incomparable levels of team work and essentially endless reserves of energy.
Whilst Battle Meditation will help Team 1, the issue of force reserves comes into play and beyond that they are outclassed in both skill and power.
Mara Jade and Jaina Solo are both very powerful Jedi Masters, they have both dominated a combatant as strong as Caedus and Leia is effectively one of the best support characters in the mythos.
Aayla Secura can play bodyguard on Leia, as Leia amps her family members exponentially.

Best healers? How is this going to help?
Surik and Satele are very good in martial aspects of combat, among the best. Bastilla and Nomi aren't lacking either.

So easy to get self righteous about the venue isn't it?
But, the jello pit is actually NOT neutral ground. If the jello is about waist deep or so (And it is), then it's deep enough for Mara in particular to duck underneath it. Once out of sight...well, if her Force Concealment as a teenager is capable of hiding from Vader, there's nobody on team 1 who can see her coming as a Jedi Master. Do not underestimate the power of a stealth kill.
Aayla is admittedly the weakest link of team 2, but Leia and Jaina are still Skywalkers, and Jaina should be able to take Satele Shan when they inevitably face off. The battle meditation of team 1 does typically require some peace and quiet to actually use, but peace and quiet is hard to come by when Mara's doing stealth kills. Her original job description is 'assassin'. Don't ever forget it.

Accusing Leia of being old is kinda silly, when guys like Dooku kick ass into their 80s. And Leia, who, let us recall, is Luke's twin...is only in her 60s.When it comes to the Force, age usually has privilege, and being older then your competition is typically a good thing.
Count Dooku aged gracefully due to being a Jedi. He possibly began to diminish after embracing the dark side. Dark side practices are known to accelerate aging.

Dooku kept in great shape and kept up with his jedi training and is much better at using the force to negate his age than Leia is because of his advanced force mastery. I don't recall anything suggesting Leia is in particularly good physical nick. Being older is only better if you're improving upon your force mastery and knowledge and so you're more advanced than you were when you were younger. Since Leia has relatively minimal training, she's not comparable to Dooku in that regard.
Surik > Jaina, Satele > Mara, Nomi can TP Aayla in seconds which leaves Leia fighting two incredibly coordinated and powerful fighters.
Suriks Wound bonds are stronger than melds, she can communicate information and her own abilities to others through her wound.
Surik and Nomi fighting together would literally transform Nomi into an actually decent duelist, allowing her to push Leia alone while Bastilla amps them all.
