So, it looks to me that we're going to see the two senior pairs of the two senior teams, Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha and Jaune, fight the Dragon. Officially, they're doing it to save the day for all the innocent but in reality, it's because Blake, Yang, Nora and Ren are too badly wounded to survive having to evacuate the city. To flee now is to leave their friends to die.

I would say that we've got about a 50% probability that they'll kill the Dragon and save Vale. Both success and failure would have their own narrative consequences but neither are unthinkable at this stage in the story.

What I consider interesting is the complete absence of references to the throw-down between Ozzie and Cinder. Something tells me that this is going to be the totally-embargoed and secret 'Wham!' event.

I suspect that Pyrrha will get pretty badly mashed up and that Jaune will save her, unlocking his Semblance in the process. I also suspect that Weiss will fully unlock Summon and Ruby will reveal a massive power-up of her own, possibly the ability to manipulate kinetic energy on a large scale (enabling her to bounce the Dragon around like it was a ping-pong ball surrounded by a storm of rose petals).
