how to beat 4-4-1-1

[Claudio Pierantonio]

Ive been searching a lot and it seems to be a weird formation, and since I played with a 3-5-2 and he won by 2 goals (some topics says 4-4-1-1 should be beaten with 3-5-2 flat but I lost), now Im trying to see if there is a good counter formation to win.
Here is mine and his formations.
