Size matters here: a typical adult Blue Whale weighs about 120 t (132.3 US tons), roughly 67× the Hippopotamus's 1.8 t.
The Hippopotamus's best chance is its attack (90 vs 78), plus abilities like Tusks-First Gape and Riverbed Bound. This one is close enough that terrain, first contact and motivation could flip it.
