How to beat stronger 4-1-2N-1-2 ND?

Help. I need tactic, orders and arrows to beat stronger Narrow Diamond in the Cup.

First, check the form of his players. Just because they have greater quality, doesn't mean they're better players. If several players (especially defenders) have poor form chase the game.

3n-1-4-2/3n-5-2 V are probably your best counters here.

attacking/down the flanks/whole pitch/hard/short/zonal - no counters/offsides (optional) or
normal/down the flanks/own half/hard/mixed/zonal - no counters/offsides (optional)

If watching the match, i'd probably start with the normal setup, then as the games progresses switch to the more offensive setup if in need of a goal.

However, if you feel the need to play defensively.

4-5-1V/4-1-4-1. Hard defending/down the flanks/own half/hard/long/zonal - force counters/no offsides.
