Illyria has a huge advantage but I think the fight is a lot closer than people seem to think. As a far as the show went, Glory demonstrated more strength and durable feats than Illyria. The only feat Illyria had was the axe to the head, that's it. Speeding shards of glass, knives, a truck and an entire concrete ceiling did nothing to Glory. She even fell thousands of meters from the sky and came out unscathed. As far as strength goes, Illyria's most impressive feats was destroying a car while she was depowered and beating down Angel and his gang. Glory knocked down an unbreakable steel door like it was tin foil, kicked Spike across two rooms, caused a room to collapse by stomping her foot and punched a hole through an extremely powerful force field that was conjured by Willow. The fight in my view really depends on who uses what first. Glory is very capable of blitzing Illyria and if she does, she may gain the upper hand. It's not one sided, Illyria can stop time but in doing so will prevent Glory from changing into Ben as everything has stopped. Illyria would have to manipulate time wisely so that Glory can revert.
Ultimately, the fight can go either way but Illyria has a major advantage. Comic Illyria vs Glory is a different story as Illyria wins that easily (unless it is her last two versions). One last thing, Illyria is not a god, she is a demon that can be physically slayed in her true ancient form (she can be resurrected though via her essence). Glory herself is a true fully fledged god that has existed on the side of forever and is implied to be truly immortal in her true ancient form.
