4-3-3 vs. 4-4-2 Diamond

The 4-3-3 is one of the most common formations, with a central midfield trio operating ahead of the four man back line, and underneath a front three.

The 4-4-2 diamond benefits from the strong central midfield presence ahead of the back line of four, with two centre forwards high in attack.
