My team play better in home, but is strange, my first two matches on first division i lost 1-5 against Atletico (Home) and win 4-1 against Deportivo (Away) with the same tactics a only changing two or three players.
Try to play with 4-4-2 attacking with the wings or 4-5-1 with short passes. (4-4-2) Play with defensive mentality, tight marking and direct passing style, make a total closing down with a defensive line more agresive. You will have a better play attaking even if you use a defensive mentality.
This is the way i play, many risk and my suicidal mentality xD
