Team Reviews
Suriname (Rank 138, 1st in Group F, 6 points)
Form: 2W-0D-0L; recent 4-1 win vs. St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 2-0 aggregate vs. Martinique in Gold Cup qualifiers. Unbeaten in last 5 competitive matches (4W-1D).
Strengths: Playing at Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadion, Paramaribo, Suriname leverages home advantage. Coach Stanley Menzo’s squad, with Sheraldo Becker (Real Sociedad) and Gleofilo Vlijter (4 goals in qualifiers), excels in attack. Solid defense (1 goal conceded in 2 qualifiers).
Weaknesses: Reliance on diaspora players (e.g., Becker) risks cohesion. Rare losses to top teams like Canada expose gaps vs. stronger sides.
Key Players: Becker, Vlijter, Etienne Vaessen (GK).

Puerto Rico (Rank 157, 2nd in Group F, 4 points)
Form: 1W-1D-0L; recent 8-0 win vs. Anguilla, 0-0 draw vs. El Salvador.
Strengths: Coach Charlie Trout’s attacking 4-3-3 features Leandro Antonetti (4 goals vs. Anguilla) and Jeremy de León. Resilient in tight games, as shown in Gold Cup prelims (4-3 pens vs. Suriname, 2023). High morale after promotion to Nations League B.
Weaknesses: Defensive frailty vs. stronger sides (2-0 loss to Martinique in Gold Cup prelims). Away form weak (1W-2D-3L in last 6). No World Cup or Gold Cup appearance.
Key Players: Antonetti, de León, Joel Serrano (GK).

Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 1 match (2023 Gold Cup prelims); 0-0 draw, Puerto Rico won 4-3 on penalties.
Trends: The sole H2H was low-scoring, with both teams defensively solid. Suriname dominated possession but failed to convert; Puerto Rico’s counter-attacks were effective. Expect another tight game.

Prediction: Suriname 2-1 Puerto Rico
Suriname, leading Group F, can cement their third-round spot with a win at home (6:00 PM local time). Puerto Rico, tied with El Salvador (4 points), needs points to secure a top-two finish. Group F also includes El Salvador, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Turks and Caicos/Anguilla winner. Suriname’s home form and attacking depth (Becker, Vlijter) give them an edge. Puerto Rico’s resilience and Antonetti’s flair could trouble Suriname, but their away struggles and Suriname’s defensive solidity favor the hosts. Social media (@SurinamCol, @FutbolPR) highlights Suriname’s confidence and Puerto Rico’s upset potential. Suriname’s recent scoring form (6 goals in 2 qualifiers) and home advantage should overpower Puerto Rico’s defense. Puerto Rico may score via Antonetti, but Suriname’s depth secures a narrow win, aligning with their 4-1 thrashing of St. Vincent and H2H competitiveness.
