Try to look for areas in your squad that have better quality than in his in the same area!, go hard tackling as you want to try and take control of the match!, if his team is better all round then you are going to struggle unless you troll him!, if it is close then try to play a slightly different formation to start but have a back up plan to switch to if things go tits up!, standard 4-4-2 is quite easy to beat if you have the players in your squad, use a 3-1-4-2 or 4-1-3-2 will beat it or even mirror him at the start then switch to a 4-3-3.
