Sri Lanka is always a tough opposition playing at home and home conditions suits them. This can be judged by the fact that even an invincible team like Australia failed to beat them in the ODI series and test series. Sri Lanka won the ODI series 3-2 and drew the test series 1-1 against Australia. This proves that Sri Lanka are hard to beat at home and Pakistan will have a difficult tour of Sri Lanka.
In the home test series against Australia, it was proven that Pakistani batting is susceptible to reverse swing and they will wilt and collapse under pressure. If this is the case then Sri Lanka are clear favourites over Pakistan. The Sri Lankan pitches are likely to favour spinners and Pakistanis clearly lack an inform spinner. Pakistan look unlikely to bowl Sri Lanka twice with their bowling which clearly lacks depth, penetration and class.
Pakistan cannot depend entirely on Yasir Shah who isnt in form these days and he is no longer the World Class leg spinner that he used to be and he is well past his prime.
In the end I would like to say Sri Lanka are clear favourites to win the test series all because of playing in home conditions.
