It could probably go any way. Minato has Kurama Avatar which is on par with Perfect Susano'o. He's also Edo, giving him infinite stamina, infinite Chakra, regeneration, and immortality. Same applies to Itachi. Itachi gets benefited even more because he no longer has illness and can now spam MS abilities, including Susano'o. Tsukuyomi is useless against Madara because he's already dead. Normal Genjutsu probably won't be effective. Amaterasu can be absorbed or tanked with Susano'o. All that remains is Itachi's Susano'o with the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror. For Minato's side, he's super fast with BM and his own base, which was capable of easily reacting to the Fourth Raikage. Now give him BM which is even stronger than KCM which was such a massive boost that it propelled Naruto (who in base isn't really a speedster) to being faster than the Fourth Raikage. And this was the first real usage of KCM that Naruto even applied to a real battle as well (not sure if you'd count the run-in with Kisame). Now imagine that BM is even stronger than KCM and that Minato also has his own Godly base. He's very fast. Itachi as a reanimation is also very fast, capable of striking and dodging blows from KCM Naruto. Madara was also reacting to BM Naruto and fighting against the Five Kage, which included the Fourth Raikage who was lightened by Ohnoki to become even faster. So, in terms of speed, they are all very fast, but Minato and Itachi have the advantage because Minato in BM is just sooo fast. All three of them are very smart, but the advantage in battle intelligence clearly goes to Itachi and Minato. In terms of power, I already said that Kurama Avatar allows Minato to fight against Madara's Perfect Susano'o. The only thing is that Minato and Itachi have no knowledge on Madara's Rinnegan techniques or Wood Style. Wood Style can suppress Bijuu Chakra, which could pose a threat. Rinnegan techniques include control over attractive and repulsive forces, Chibaku tensei, Animal Summons, Naraka Path, Human Path, Asura Path, and Preta Path (Madara can't summon Gedo Mazo or use Limbo as Edo Tensei). Basic Shinra Tensei and Bansho Tenin get countered by power, smarts, and bunshin feints. Animal Summons get countered by Amaterasu and are simply outclassed by Susano'o and Kurama Avatar. Naraka Path isn't really worth mentioning because Madara can already heal as Edo. The only thing it can do is offer extra vision. Human Path is something that could be dangerous because it could allow Madara to rip out the souls of Minato or Itachi. Asura Path gets countered by Susano'o and Kurama Avatar. Chibaku Tensei gets broken. Tengai Shinsei gets lifed up/broken. Only one that's very troublesome is Preta Path, because it absorbs Chakra. However, it's never shown if it can absorb something as large-scale as an entire Susano'o or Kurama Avatar, so that's speculation. Some proof that it might not work is that Madara stated that Naruto's Rasen-Shuriken had too much energy, so maybe he couldn't absorb very large-scale attacks with the Preta Path. Idk, but it could be troublesome. Although they might be able to find ways around it because they're very smart. In the end, anyway, it really all depends on sealing. Both sides are well-equipped in power and speed. Sealing is worth mentioning. Itachi has the totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror. If the Totsuka Blade pierces Madara once, he's sealed away. Minato learned several Sealing Jutsu from Kushina's mother. Most notably, he has Reaper Death Seal. Madara has Chibaku Tensei and can rip souls with the Human Path. Chibaku Tensei can be broken by Minato or Itachi. So, all that he's left with is the Human Path, which takes time to work and requires him to have physical contact with Minato or Itachi. And the other one won't just let Madara rip out their souls. If he tries to rip Itachi's soul, Minato will try to stop him. Same goes for vice versa. Meanwhile, Madara is only one person. If Minato tags him, he can attempt to rip out his soul with Reaper Death Seal. Madara has nobody else to save him. Meanwhile, Minato has more backup with Itachi. If one of them can immobilize Madara, the other can seal him. In the end, I think Minato and Itachi probably win more times than not, but Madara definitely also can win.
