Posssible to beat 3-1-3W-3 formation that is nearly 8 points better then my team?

Is it possible to beat this team ?
Attachment 51281
The team on the right is the team I am playing against which is fielding a 3-1-3w-3 formation.
As you can see on the left of the image I already tried a 4-5-1 V formation with no success.

My team is currently 36.8 and my opponents team is 44.7.

Am I just destined to lose no matter what formation/tactics I play?
Are there any tactics that will give me a chance to sneak victory even using ultra-defensive tactics?
Has anyone got any ideas on how I should approach the match?

Thanks in advance.

*Background it is a champions league group I need to guarantee second place by beating this top team in the group, as the third placed team will be playing the weakest team in group.

4-4-2 would be my way

If possible, max all your bonuses. Your opponent, if he's clinched first in the group might elect to save some cash/boosters. If your iucky he might rest key players to not accumulate yellow cards.

OK I will try 4-4-2 seems like the most balanced way. I am annoyed because it was my own fault that I got in this position in the group.

My own fault I am in this predicament! I should have played for a draw in my previous game (where I could have secured second with a draw against the third place team) but made the mistake of not bothering to look at the group points before I played.

I will max out on boosters and hope for the best too.
Hope the top guy plays his second team! :D

I played 4-4-2 hexagon (defensive counter) which was the nearest I had to 4-4-2 and my opponent switched tactics and played an adventurous two at the back 2-3DML/DMR-1-2w-2

I was 1-0 on 60mins and decided to switch to ultra-defensive it didn't work ended up 1-1 final score conceded on 76 min.
More annoying still was his team only had 4 shots on target but my team had 11.
Went hard attacking for the last 20 and his keeper kept saving them.
