I thought of using the classic 4-4-2 but your suggestions are interesting. I'll probably try the 2nd option since i need to score more. I will share the results afterwards. Thanks a lot

Well, I won the game 3-2 and qualified to the next round but it was close and lucky enough. At first, I used 3-3-2-2 (the 2nd option you suggested) and i had a bad start. For The first 10 mins I was 2-0 down already (a 20-yd screamer and the other was from a corner) and soon found myself struggling to score in the first half despite dominating possession. So I switched to a back four (4-3-2-1) with hard attacking , counter on and was able to make a comeback win.
