**** Spoiler-ish if you don't want info from the books ****

In the books, Euron has a "dragon horn" that can bind dragons to his will. I'm not sure they're going to go in that direction on the show since it wasn't part of the kingsmoot in the show but it could very well sway the odds if it does appear.

Presently, Daenerys seems to have a clear advantage with the Unsullied, Dothraki, dragons, Yara and her ironborn, Dorne, etc... there has to be something that will challenge her might, the dragon horn could be it.

When Aegon took Westeros he subdued six of the seven kingdoms despite being outnumbered due to the overwhelming advantage dragons provide in combat.  The only exception was Dorne because it was not a war, but an occupation.  Think of it as equivalent of the Soviet Union or United States in Afghanistan.  You have massive power imbalance in militaries, but geurilla tactics can drag out a fight for years, if not decades. Even crude weaponry can shock and claim a dragon with a bit of luck.

The Dragon Horn is featured on the cover of Winds of Winter (obviously not final) so it could play a major role in the books.  I don't think it will be part of the show as that and Aegon (Dany's nephew) seem to be missing in the adaptation.  My guess is her opposition in the show will be the wall falling and the Long Night coming to Westeros again.  Ice (The Others) from the north, fire (Dragons) from the south.

That's a reasonable assumption. It's a real shame that knowing how long GRRM takes to write his books the show runners still decided to cut several subplots that could have postponed the moment where the show overtook the books had they been included.
