One of the main point is indeed the sentence " maidens choose themselves' to be guardians" which means even if Ozpin have someone in mind it doesn't necessary involve that this person will truly become the guardian. Since it's not him who chose someone.

I saw now several possibilies :

1 - Ozpin thinks about Pyrrha and she become the Guardian. In this scenario she will ultimately fail at some time, Cinder plan won, the Kingdom will be crushed (almost or totally ?) and she will need a lot of time and support, especially by Jaune, to recover physically and mentally and come back into the fight. In the meantime, Ruby will achieve something great and access something even above the Guardian title. Lile saving the world and stuff.

2 - Ozpin thinks about Pyrrha, but because of some yet unknown event it will be Ruby that grab the tittle. Maybe by being a big part into the failing of Cinder plan. In this scenario she may not fail greatly but have some difficulties to adjust to her role and need a huge back up to grow quickly bot physically and mentaly.

3 - Ozpin thinks about Ruby, but someone else took it. Back to number 1 for the rest, but the Guardian may even die depending on who it is.

4 - Ozpin thinks about Ruby and she become it. Back to 2 for the rest.

The Opening seems to lead more toward N°1 :

- Bad things happens for JPNR (Pyrrha being crushed, temporary or not)

- Grimms in Beacon (Cinder plan works) => The guardian fails
