Overwhelming odds

Hi,

From Context Reverso:

Despite the overwhelming odds, the team fought on, determined to give no quarter.

A pesar de las probabilidades abrumadoras, el equipo luchó con determinación de no dar cuartel.

Is it a correct translation? Las probabilidades abrumadoras look suspicious for me. In fact, I can't tell, unfortunately

In English, odds has a connotation of poor chances, whereas probabilidad must be neutral.
