Quick roll-call for the opposing forces:
Cersei- Golden company, some remnants of the Lannister army, Euron's Greyjoy forces. Any more?
Team Targarian: 2 dragons, remnants of the Unsullied, remnants of the Northern armies, a scattered few Dothraki maybe; then- the Lannister troops that bent the knee? They didn't ride North, but they did pledge to her. And with Jaime now available to lead them, most likely will honor that pledge.
Add to that the remnants of the Tyrell army, they weren't executed in masse by Jaime. They surrendered and went home. They should answer the call. As well as any remnants of the Tully forces.
Yara's Greyjoys, this is somewhat limited, but she did seem to have enough to retake the Iron Islands, so maybe a couple hundred or so.
Wildcards for this side: Dorne theoretically should still have troops near full strength, if you could ever organize them. And Second Sons, if called upon. Someone in a thread said that could cause problems in Meereen, but I don't think Daario would hesitate in the choice between Dany's call and Meereen's needs.
Anyone else?
Hard to give either side the edge.
Cersei is entrenched at King's Landing, and seems to have more troops now. But the Golden Company is toast if caught in the open by the dragons, so you can't deploy. And God help Euron's fleet if they get caught in harbor. Cersei has Scorpions to counter the dragons, but Drogon knows what's up, and he's dodged 2 NK missiles. I think with riders who are watching out, you don't shoot them down.
Similarly, Dany no longer has the troop strength to confidently lay siege and take KL without major airstrikes, something they did want to avoid.

I don't think a siege is possible at this point for the North even if they do have the 2nd sons and/or the remaining Knights of the Vale show up. Cersei would be stupid to leave her fortifications and send the Golden Company out in the open field. Will be interesting to see how they do this. The dragons are huge advantage but it isn't like Cerssi isn't prepared for them. I also don't think Dany will care about "the people" anymore and will try to just scorch the whole place unless Tyrion or Jamie can stop her.

Freys are unaccounted for.
Right now, Dany can probably hold the Twins. Preview shows her at the Twins. Does she have enough to move South or will Cersai move north to attack her at the Twins?
