Sasuke's stats are almost identical to itachi's, itachi won't easily break through sasuke's susanoo, this will extend the fight tiring itachi in the process. Sasuke will have a harder time breaching itachi's defenses because of the yata mirror. This gives itachi the advantage and his superior strategic skills should win him the match even though sasuke isn't a pushover but he'll be drained by the end of it due to the MS abilities draining massive amounts of chakra as well as straining his body in the process.
