Add in apparation, charms, transfiguration and so on and there are a lot of things Sideous just won't know how to deal with because he would never have been exposed to it.
With that being said, Sideous has some incredible advantages as well. He has force precognition so he sense and react to things before they happen or as they are happening so getting that hit on him will be difficult, and if he get close to Voldemort and Voldemort doesn't apparate away then Voldemort can be taken out by a lightsaber.
That being said, this is their first encounter. With Voldemort's horcruxes and Palpatine's various clones (I'm completely ignoring the Disney trilogy, the LE was far superior) it would probably be a fight that has them both fighting, one losing then the other losing as they try and figure out how to beat the other.
I'm only considering them at their peak.
Do you people even know the feats of Sidious in the expanded universe?
Voldemort has literally no chances at all.
lol.
That's why I take into account Palpatine's clones and Voldemort's horcruxes.
They both have advantages that the other can't account for, at least not on a first encounter.
On the first encounter I think the winner goes to whoever gets the drop on the other. It'll be harder for Voldemort to do that because of Sidious's force precognition but it is possible.
Not simply armadas, he can fry entire planets. Like, literally, he's shown in the comics creating force storms powerful enough to rip planets apart.
Darth Vader wasn't exaggerating when he said the power to destroy a planet was insignificant next to the power of The Force.
Sith Sorcery is a thing, and Palpatine is stated to be the most powerful Sith who has ever lived up to that point in his era. He mastered every technique and ability that the previous Sith lords developed over the eons.
He even found a way to successfully clone force sensitive individuals, (which was previously deemed impossible) by placing a species of force dampening lizards near their cloning pods and tricking the medichlorians into bonding with the designated subject.
I know.
I'm not taking away from that.
He has clones that effectively work as horcruxes he can just move his essence into.
Voldemort has horcruxes and can actually teleport, can transform one thing into another in the blink of an eye, and he only needs to make avada kedavra hit once, and we don't know if a lightsaber can block the unblockable curse.
I think the winner is whoever gets the jump on the other first, for their first encounter. I also think that that encounter is NOT going to be their last because both have ways to exist beyond death and have come back after being defeated before.
I think it's a toss-up.
I'm not completely knowledgeable about the deeper workings of lightsabers, but I believe they are in at least some degree empowered by the user's connection to the Force.
Also, we've seen them being used to counter Force Lightning, as well as other energy and (presumably) magic based attacks.
Speaking of counters, I think there's also the fact that force sensitive individuals tend to erect psychic barriers around themselves in combat, so that they don't get instantly one shot by each other's force abilities.
But at the end of the day, we're talking about a guy who's greatest demonstrated feat was assembling an army to attack a magical highschool, vs a guy who is powerful enough to kill entire planets without ever leaving the couch.
Assembling an army to attack a school is more impressive than infiltrating the government and taking it over in a single day, undermining all the diplomatic efforts of Dumbledore (Hagrid's trip to the Giants), earning the loyalty/fear of all dementors, successfully splitting his soul 7 times and having an entire planet so scared of him that they don't even say his name for more than a decade after his first defeat?
