As i think u should use Dml/dmr(red arrows) to block his amr/aml. You can use 3N midfields to fight the posession with him so the formation maybe 3-2(dml-dmr)-3N-2(aml/amr)-1 He seems to be a bit better team in quality so it should be normal mental own half short pass both flanks normal tackle, no counter/offside.if dont have goal in first half you should change your aml/amr to 2 amc remove arrows on dmr/dml through middle and whole pitch.
