The Spartans were stronger, but Athens had a better trained army... I think. The Spartans were the "Navy Seals" of the Greek states. Roughest and toughest soldiers by far. But Athens was the best naval power of Greece.
Athens sought to avoid land battles with Sparta since Sparta was the strongest land power - to thwart Spartan power on land Athens relied on it's naval assets which were more powerful since Sparta had a limited navy .
