Will the Swiss Nati qualify for the quarter-finals?

In the fourth World Cup match in Switzerland already a third striker comes from the beginning to use. Coach Vladimir Petkovic bet on Josip Drmic on the eighth day of the World Cup in St. Petersburg against Sweden (16.00). Haris Seferovic remains on the bench. He is accompanied by suspended players Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schär. For them, Michael Lang and Johan Djourou are on the ground.

Switzerland – Sweden live!

Haris Seferovic played against Brazil. Against Serbia, the Sursee striker stormed until the break, which was later replaced by Mario Gavranovic, who in turn was allowed to start against Costa Rica , and later replaced Josip Drmic. The problem was: Seferovic disappointed twice. Gavranovic was strong in the second match as a Joker, but then weak, as he had started. Drmic replaced Costa Rica, scoring the post and leading the score to 2-1 just before the end.

Drmic now has the chance to be part of the starting lineup of the main match for two years. This surprised to a certain extent, because Drmic had started Borussia Mönchengladbach last season due to cartilage damage in the knee only four times. He only played once during the 90 minutes. In the national team, he played on November 17, 2015 in Vienna during a test against Austria for the last time since the beginning. Shortly after, his knee problems started

but Drmic is also the attacker with the good score. In the national team, he scored 10 goals in 29 international matches. Nobody in the Swiss World Cup team brings greater efficiency. not even Xherdan Shaqiri with 21 goals in 71 appearances

Petkovic's other personnel decisions were expected. The suspense Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schär are replaced in defense by Michael Lang and Johan Djourou. On the left wing, Steven Zuber has the advantage over Breel Embolo. Zuber had missed Costa Rica because of a flu. Since Saturday, he has trained regularly with the team.
