After watching some prediction videos I feel like there will be two conflicts with the army of the dead.

Winterfell will be a loss for the good guys, and they'll be forced to retreat. Their plan is not well thought out, and the NK won't be fooled, being able to see Bran and what's awaiting him. Just like his anticipation for the dragons north of the wall to capture Viserion. They'd have to surprise him in a big way, and I don't think dragonfire will be an effective solution. Could see them retreating to the Crypts, which I think are protected by ancient magic alike the great weirwood tree. So maybe a Bran sacrifice is made since he wouldn't go down there with the NK's mark (also why he's not in the crypts trailer). Maybe they're able to retreat through secret tunnels/passages to get out with their surviving forces.

So then I think the 'final conflict' later won't be with Cersei, but will be with the Night King again in the riverlands.

The Golden Company gets sent north after the BOW to deal with the remnants of Dany's forces, but will be met with a worse enemy/threat. And this is where Melisandre will show up with some kind of reinforcements.

Could see the GC changing allegiances after Dany's crew saves the day with the help of Melisandre and the Azor Ahai prophecy being realized somehow, saving their lives. The GC were formed by the Blackfyres anyways who are relatives of the Targs, and we have two of them with real claim to the throne. Cue then everyone marching on Cersei to close things out, and there won't be a need for a big Cersei conflict (she's a lesser threat than the NK anyways) but a satisfying impending doom for her, alike in season 2. Maybe she takes down the red keep/throne/much of KL with her wildfire just because she's that sinister and batshirt insane.

Then again, maybe the conflict with the dead does all go down tomorrow. I don't know at this point. But wanted to make a prediction to see later if it's anywhere close.
