Well as i said even if he make first attack, before Itachi does , he will trigger crow clone which is going to distract him. (chance for Itachi to trap him )

As for Susanoo, full armored might be used at the end of battle, which is not needed in my opinion , since even skeletal Susanoo would be enough to keep him safe from direct hit. ( And if Minato fail to strike Itachi cuz of Susanoo, another chance to trap him )

There is more possibility that Itachi have more info over Minato. Minato was even dead when Itachi killed his clan plus Minato was a legendary yellow flash, there's no way Itachi never heard of it.

That is also huge advantage here for Itachi. Lemme explain since if he knows Minato battle style he is surely not going to hold Susanoo back or let his guard down for a moment or so.

There is simply more scenario where Minato is going to be in genjtusu rather then Itachi being one shotted by Minato.

Any close contact with Itachi is a risk for Minato to get caught, so ye i still think Itachi got this.
