#2 Stephan Lichtsteiner
He is the new captain of the Switzerland team and has won the Scudetto 5 times in a row with Juventus. After amassing a lot of experience in Serie A as well as in the UEFA Champions League by playing in the right back position, Stephan will be crucial for any success the Swiss squad will be hoping to have this time.
If Vladimir Petkovic deploys 3 defensive midfielders, Stephan can enjoy more freedom going forward to use his attacking instincts. He can put the ball into the box from the flank easily and can also initiate a quick counter attack.
With Yan Sommer guarding the post, Lichtsteiner and his counterpart on the left wing, Ricardo Rodriguez, will be tempted to push forward at each and every opportunity. However, a draw can boost their chances of qualifying, so he might not risk going forward all the time.
