FIFA World Cup 2022: Switzerland WC Squad Guide: Full Fixtures, Possible Starting XI

The
Swiss
team
will
be
targeting
a
deep
run
at
the
2022
World
Cup
after
a
satisfying
qualifying
campaign
that
saw
them
finishing
top
of
Group
C
and
forcing
European
champions
Italy
into
the
playoffs.
Five
wins
and
three
draws
from
eight
games
were
enough
to
see
the
side
into
the
World
Cup
final.

In
recent
big
occasions,
the
team
led
by
Arsenal
star
Granit
Xhaka
has
been
quite
successful.
Switzerland
reached
the
round
of
16
in
both
Euro
2016
and
the
2018
World
Cup,
as
well
as
the
quarter-finals
of
Euro
2020.
They
have
been
placed
in
a
strong
Group
C
with
Brazil,
Cameroon,
and
Serbia.

However,
considering
the
former
experience
at
the
biggest
stage,
they
are
well
positioned
to
advance
into
the
round
of
16
at
least
as
the
second
pick.

Possible
starting
XI:

The
current
Swiss
team
is
full
of
players
playing
in
the
top
sides
in
the
top
five
European
leagues
and
as
a
result,
there
is
no
shortage
of
quality
in
any
area
of
the
field.

Borussia
Monchengladbach’s
Yann
Sommer
is
the
undisputed
No.
1
for
Switzerland
and
is
expected
to
protect
the
goal.
The
defensive
line
could
see
the
likes
of
Manuel
Akanji
and
Fabian
Schar
positioned
at
the
center
while
Nico
Elvedi
and
Ricardo
Rodriguez
should
play
as
fullbacks.

The
midfield
will
see
Granit
Xhaka,
Remo
Freuler,
and
Denis
Zakaria
making
the
cut
while
Haris
Seferovic
is
expected
to
be
Switzerland’s
main
man
up
front.
Overall
the
Swiss
team
under
Murat
Yakin
has
a
good
balance
in
every
position.
