Thats a fair defensive unit, if I remember correctly I finished off are friendly with the same.
It's gonna be a tough one to crack.
First decision to be taken is do you go three against three at he back if you do, then I think that a 3DC V formation with the extra striker or AMC may give you a decent shot, perhaps putting down arrows on the DMC to help the DC's as he has only one MC against your two.
Putting up arrows on the DMC and playing the AMC would give you the stronger mid field, still think he will bypass that though with long counters up to his strikers.
Defensive with counter would be the obvious choice but depending on the match up attack with whole pitch pressure and O/S could limit his chances.

Not an easy choice.
Good luck!
