So, here's the problem. Tomorrow i am playing the 3rd round of a tournament my city organises, and i need help. I am playing a much higher rated opponent as i have scored 1,5/2 till now, an i need advice how should i play. Shall i play defensively and passsive or something else? What do you think?

Play exactly how you would normally play. Don't worry about rating! It doesn't matter. You're doing just as well as he is, so you need to play like it. Do NOT let a number get to you. Good luck!
