4-5-1 flat vs 4-4-2

[Speed Race]

Good day everybody, just want to have your opinion and suggestion about 4-5-1 flat. It`s possible this formation can be counter by 4-4-2 and what is the best tactics to win against it?

I think it can working against the 4-4-2. I've had success with the 4-5-1 V with seems similar to me. These are the orders I like to use in this matchup.

Normal/Attacking mentality, mixed, whole pitch, hard tackling, mixed, zonal, no counter, no offside. Red arrows on ML/MC/MC/MR. Blue arrow on middle MC.

My theory is assuming the 4-4-2 is attacking the flanks, I gamble my ML/MR and his ML/MR negate each other. Regarding the MC's, I figure I have one MC/DMC to protect in case his come forward while my two are left virtually unguarded in his midfield or if his MC's have blue arrows mine with red arrows and a MC(down)/DMC to protect against a counter-attack is probably an advantage to me.
