How would you Counter a 3n-1-2n-3w-1

[Kleinmo1]

Hey, need to win my Cup-home -match facing this oponent again:
3n DC - 1 DMC - 2 MC - 3 (AML - MAC- AMR) - 1
Having a only 4 % better Team i lost the away match 0:2 playing 3w-DMC-4- -2..
Both Teams had about 17 shots, he had 7 on goal, me only 2!!!!
Which Formation can beat bis? Plz with tactics and arrows.
Thx for helping me.

you definitely need amr and aml...so maybe 4-5-1 v style...down both flanks..

I hope I'm not too late: I think I would use 4-5-1V as well or switch to a 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 (Butterfly) formation. If your squad can do both formations I would start with the 451V and see whether it does work or switch after 30-40 minutes to the other formation.

I guess it does depend on the quality of his AMC. If he is much stronger than his AML/AMR teammates, the 451V could be more suitable for your defense. If his offensive wingers are strong, the butterfly-formation could help you out more.

Regarding the tactics: Down both flanks (as MackoUsko already said) and since my last very hard season I tend do play defensively ("defensive") with counter attacks against similar or only slightly better/ worse teams. If I am playing defensively I would try also a long passing style, high pressing, hard tackling and man-to-man marking, without the offside trap. So in your case, I would use these tactics. But I don't know your team so it is hard to tell whether this would be a good approach.

With which formation did you loose in the first leg? Feel free to post a screenshot of both yours and his team so we can help you out more.

Best,
Nidd

I was a Bit wrong with the Shoot statistic: he had 8 out of 17 on goal, scored 2' min and 90' min. I had 2 out of 13.

Alright thanks, I will write you a PM (just because it is easier to exchange ourselves in our native language and I am in a hurry ^^). We can post here afterwards our/your experiences.
