Petkovic made four changes to the team that drew 2-2 with Costa Rica in their last group match. Former Arsenal defender Johan Djourou and Michael Lang came into the side for the suspended Stephen Lichsteiner and Fabian Schar.
Josip Drmic was also included at the expense of Mario Gavranovic while Steven Zuber replaced Breel Embolo on the left wing.
Sweden made just one alteration to the team that drew 2-2 with Costa Rica, with Gustav Svensson taking the place of suspended former Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson.
Switzerland controlled possession early as Sweden mostly defended with 10 men behind the ball when in their own half.
But it was the Scandinavians that went closest to scoring, with Marcus Berg spurning three chances to put his team ahead in the opening 45 minutes.
The Al-Ain striker fired wide with only the goalkeeper to beat after latching onto a Viktor Claesson through ball and then saw his shot intercepted by Akanji after Yann Sommer's risky goalkick led to a turnover.
But the 31-year-old's best opportunity came late in the half when he sent a downward volley towards the bottom corner only for Sommer to palm the ball clear.
Switzerland rarely troubled Robin Olsen's goal. They came closest to hitting the target when Blerim Dzemaili drilled an attempt over the bar after combining with Steven Zuber on the left.
Albin Ekdal should have given Sweden the lead on the stroke of halftime when he volleyed over while unmarked at the far post after a Mikael Lustig cross.
