Elves do live a lot longer than humans, they probably still have a corps of Great War veterans training their newbs, or even on the front lines. Saying that they are inexperienced compared to the Stormcloaks makes little sense to me.

Besides, if numbers and equipment were equal, who would you bet on, soldiers who had a few months of rest from battle, or soldiers who have had about twenty years off? Keep in mind that the AD would defiantly be drilling their soldiers hard, you know how focused they are.
