Well, the thing about this match-up is that they both play similarly, but I suppose better make an argument:
1) They both have a long-distance attack, but Gwyn jumps while Sif does a run attack. The fact Gwyn jumps means Sif's attack would lose. So Gwyn wins the distance fight. Also, this means Sif's backward jumps are just bad.
2) Sif has a longer sword, so she has a sweet spot in the Mid-distance battle, where Gwyn can only spam the dash forward. Sif wins the Mid-distance battle, but it is simply to brief for Sif to take advantage of it. Also, despite that, Gwyn has a backwards jump which can then turn it into a long distance combat.
3) Close Range, Gwyn has better combos. Sif hits poise at about the 50's, so Gwyn can tank 1 hit. Which means, he can pull out most of his combos for serious damage. Sif's only advantage is the double sword swing, which can stagger Gwyn.
4) Sif is too big to grab, Gwyn's grab is invalid.
5) One last thing that is a major disadvantage to Sif is this, Sif limps near death, severely lowering her combat abilities. So, even if these two were evenly matched, Sif will lose for weakening at the last second.
6) Sif can't parry, she can't cheese Gwyn.
My analysis concludes Gwyn would win, simply because his attacks coincidentally makes Sif's constant jumping, spacing and reach mostly useless.
