So based off the episode titles, we have:
Top 16
Ash vs Faba (Ash confirmed to win)
Ilima vs Guzma (Guzma probably win)
Hau vs Oak (Hau confirmed to win)
Lana vs Mallow (Anyone’s guess)
Sophocles vs Mina (Anyone’s guess)
Jessie vs James (Anyone’s guess)
Assuming Gladion, Kiawe and Lillie proceed, I think we could see:
Gladion vs Kiawe (Gladion probably win)
Lillie vs Acerola/Hiroki/someone else (Lillie probably win)
So the Top 8 May look something like:
Ash
Guzma
Hau
Gladion
Lillie
Lana/Mallow
Sophocles/Mina
Jessie/James
Really can’t call the last three matches tbh

I'm just glad Ilima is also scratched off. I know I'm not the only one who finds his forced humility to be grating (not to mention his voice actor has, like, less than zero range).
But I just realized... The Leagues are typically seven episodes long, right? And we now have five episode titles, going up to the top 8, with Satoshi's quarterfinal match getting two episodes dedicated to it...
Is he getting eliminated in the semifinals again? Would be a bit of a disappointing step back... That or the semifinals ends up being against someone whom the show isn't overly concerned about, whereas the other semifinal round would presumably be Guzma VS Gladio in that case, which would be an interesting turn of events...
I dunno, I guess the arc could also be more than seven episodes for once.

If Lillie and Gladion were to battle I’m 100% sure it’d be the main focus of the episode so I’m betting her and Gladion knock out Acerola and Kiawe respectively in the Top 16

Boy it would suck if Kiawe didnt make it into the top 8. Out off all the classmates he has the most battle experiance and he could be a sacrificial lamb to Gladion, lol

Seeing that the reminder four are Lillie, Gladion, Kiawe and the Mudbray kid with his Pyukumuku, I am no really sure of what is gonna happen with them.
MK is too easy for Gladion or Kiawe, but that would mean that Kiawe will lose in this round and what was then the point of the Charizard development if he is not even gonna showcase three pokemon.

Yeah, it's usually about 7, though some can be more and some can be less. Sinnoh's was 8 episodes. It's entirely possible that the Alola League could be 7 or 8 episodes, especially if Ash loses in Top 4 or around there. Ash did regress from his prior league placement when going from Sinnoh to Unova, so they do have precedent for doing that.
Honestly, I kind of hope Ash loses because it would feel weird to me for him to get Top 2 in Kalos with a fully evolved team and awesome animation, and then win one league later with a weaker-looking team and animation that I don't find as epic. I would be satisfied with Top 4 (though I guess as long as it is not Top 8 for the 4th time, that would be good too). Guess we'll see what happens. Either way, the league will probably be over sometime in August.

May we address the poster with Ash, Ilmia, Gladion, Guzma, and Hau.
What the hell was the point of it, if Ash wasn't going to battle those trainers. I mean maybe someone chose Ilmia by accident over Faba which okay fine, does that mean the other matchups work?
I mean. we do have Hau confirmed. Does that mean Guzma and Gladion confirmed for Ash's battles?
Or does this mean that Gladion will actually battle against Guzma?

Is it confirmed that Gladion is battling Kiawe or is that just speculation? I could see Guzma knocking Kiawe, then Gladion out, thus giving Ash even more of a reason to defeat him.

It may have just been "These are the strongest trainers in the League", I guess?

I meant later not the first round, and I honestly don't know. I don't even know who Hau is battling in the first round.

Right, I forgot, I thought someone else was fighting Principal Oak. My apologies for not remembering properly.

Well, under the assumption that Gladion, Kiawe, Lillie, and Hiroki make it through, I see Gladion vs. Kiawe and Lillie vs Hiroki as the most likely matches, with Gladion winning and Lillie/Hiroki being a coin flip. Then Gladion would go against Guzma and lose in the next round, and, having defeated Ash's two main rivals in the region, would be a good match for Ash. Of course, this assumes Ash won't get knocked out by Hau.

I get that. What I meant to say was that even if he becomes champion, they aren't going to let him walk out of Alola without losing to someone stronger so he can continue to improve. It's kind of like how he won the Battle Frontier but then lost Gary right before heading to Sinnoh. He's likely not going to beat the Alola League and the Masked Royal (because the writers just can't let him be great).

Ever since Ash lost three times to Alain, I think it is in the realm of possibility that he loses to Gladion. If Gladion beats him, then I think there’s a chance Guzma wins it all. With Ash v Hau finishing up in the fifth episode, it would also make the league end up at the average 7 episodes (Ash v Gladion 1 to 1.5 ep, and then remaining quick wrap up of finals where Guzma beats Gladion).
He has a bone to pick with Kukui, so it would set up for a high stakes 1 v 1 since Guzma wants to undo the league that Kukui is trying to build up. We have never had a villain win the league before, so it’s something new, and he can be redeemed after battling Kukui.

I still think the villain winning is outside the realm of possibility. Plus, wouldn't him winning immediately prove him right?

If Guzma is going to make it to the finals anyone way then they can just have Ash beat Gladion and fight Guzma in the finals. After all they already kind of set up Ash vs Guzma in episode 128, and it's extremely unlikely that they would have done that, that late if we weren't going to get Ash vs Guzma at the league. So I do think it's safe to say that one way or another we are going to be getting Ash vs Guzma at the league, now it's possible that Guzma could surprise us and eliminate Gladion before Gladion even gets to battle Ash and this would further set of Guzma as a bigger threat.
Although I have to agree with Wandering if Guzma wins it would mean that Alola first champion was a villainous team leader who wants to destroy the league and won't let another league happen in Alola again, as there isn't anyway around that if Guzma wins.
