Aliens require a continuous source of victims to breed. So, if the battle takes place on an inhabited planet, they would have superior numbers and could only be stopped by weapons of mass destruction. (According to the commentary on Alien DVD, the alien looked humanoid because it had a humanoid host. If it had infected a cat, it would have been cat shaped. If it infected a tiger, it would have been tiger shaped. They were BIO-ENGINEERED by an alien species to be the perfect killing weapon.)
Therefore, if the aliens infested earth, the planet would be lost. Billions of lifeforms would become hosts and we would have to fight a managerie of killing machines.
Predators don't find it sporting to use weapons of mass destruction. Just a mini-nuke to take out whatever kills one of them. There wouldn't be enough predators to fight the aliens one at a time.
And use of nukes would ruin the planet so earth loses either way.
