Predator would win.
Simple as that, no questions asked!
Aliens are pretty much designed to be hunted an raped by Predators.
They're pretty much animals that only have 1 instinct: kill.
Ya sure sounds bad ass, but compared to a Predator the Alien is just some unintellient animal. Predators have a complete civilization, and you know, they arent born by ripping out of someones chest.

Alrighty, grasshopper.
Welcome to AvPGalaxy. Every time you spout this nonsense, one of the Cool Kids is gonna come over and give you a throwdown, 'cause at AvPGalaxy we believe in proper evidence, open-mindedness and fairness towards the fans of all franchises. Batter-atter-atter...
I'm going to make this quick and simple by listing the kind of things Aliens pull off and what movie it's in. This is what we consider undeniable canon. The Alien has:
- Moved at incredible speeds. (A1, on the tracker, A3)
- Survived the plasma thrusters of a spacecraft. (A1)
- Survived having ten tons of molten lead dumped on it. (A3)
- Survived small arms weapon fire. (A2, pistols. Sometimes against the pulse rifles, too)
- Blew out candles to confuse and lure prey. (A3)
- Set traps (A4).
- Weaponised its own bleeding body. (AvP, twice)
- Ripped through steel doors. (A2, A4)
- Learned about and abused human technology. (A2, A4)
Not saying anything definitive, but I think your equation might be back to front. Aliens exist to overrule the life-cycles of all other species. They're very effective at this in general. Predators are not magically immune to this; their role is to be the only ones who are consistently able to resist the Aliens in combat, and even then it's never a sure thing. Every Alien a Predator fights might be their last.
And there's no guarantee that all Predator clans know about the Aliens, and if they do, there's no guarantee they have experience fighting against them or the tools they need. To them, Aliens could be a distant, mysterious enemy that only the mightiest of Predator warriors survive against. We don't know.
But the point is that the canon of each franchise does suggest a semblance of balance, something roughly on the lines of 1:1 all up.
'Course, there are different opinions here, but the general agreement is that Aliens are in no way fodder for the Predators.
