Odin vs Avatar = Odin doing the same as with his Thanos battle. Odin wins.
Odin vs true Darkseid = "Scientifically acquired might cannot hope to...***" *Erased from existence*

Odin would win both, but for the deus ex machina that is the OE. At least, the OE from Darkseids peak. The Oe that Superman treats like a Supersoaker though?? Odin houses him. He truly is, imo the most powerful Skyfather ever.
Darkseid ought to be more powerful than Thanos (current Darkseid would get thoroughly thrashed by Thanos) but even in his original form he would find that Marvel Universe Odin is far beyond his scope.
Thanos didn't stalemate Odin, he got his beaten up very very badly and luckily for him, Odin stopped beating on him and gave him a chance to surrender instead of incinerating him fully. Odin has done things a hundred Darkseid could not do. But it is true that Darkseid, if properly written, would beat Thanos, but there's a vast gap in power between thanos and Odin and Darkseid falls somewhere within that gap.
Despite his best efforts, Thanos did not so much as cause a scratch or singe the beard of Odin. On the other hand, Odin reduced Thanos to a smoking, broken and battered pile of flesh and bones. Luckily for Thanos, he has control over his own molecular structure and was able to fix himself but that's hardly a stale-mate.
However, Darkseid as he is written these days, where even Superman can beat him, would be easily bested by Thanos.
