In your opinion, what would be a good counter against 4 - 1dmc-2mc-2amc-1? Both teams are about the same strength. From the defensive point of view is enough 4 defenders + 1 dmc?

Is for a cup match, first leg was 1-1 away. I'm thinking to play 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 v style, defensive+counter attack+down both flanks.
Another idea would be a more attacking formation like 3N-1dmc-4-2 with red arows on ml/mr, but being a cup game i incline tp play safer, at least in the first half.

Any opinions?
