Perhaps, but I judge the outcome of this (thread) fight based on the abilities of the combatants and not on their ninja ranks or something. Jugo doesn't really counter Gaara's battlestyle. He lacks the speed to overcome Gaara's sand defences, and even if he manages to punch out the way with the brute force, if Gaara is allowed to use his Biju powers to their fullest, he'd still gain the victory for himself. Miniature Shukaku form is already enough to match Jugo's CS2 form and fight on even terms, while Tailed Beast Mode would just overwhelm him. Jugo has no way to reach out for Gaara on top of Shukaku's construct and would be eventually blown up by the Air Bullets or TBB.
