Well, it seems like you have a more powerful squad based on quality but yes, the 4-5-1 V-Style is a very versatile formation and seeing as he is in fourth place on the league table I'd assume he'll have red arrows on both his wingers and on his DMC as he needs the win. So, what I would do is implement a 4-3-2-1 formation as it will help you feed your attackers more with it's passing style.

One more thing, seeing as you have better quality players why not use the exact same formation? If you're playing at home tune in and watch the match so you have the +8 possession and you'll have a better chance of winning.
