They have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches and are currently ranked 136th in the world according to FIFA. They won two and drew two of their four CONCACAF Nations League outings in the league phase.
Canada Preview: PRESSING CANADIANS

Suriname vs Canada Prediction
Suriname will be expected to put ten men behind the ball and simply try and salvage a draw or at least stay in the contest for this first-leg against Canada. They have some pedigree within their squad but they are generally still quite weak, whilst Canada have an emerging squad full of real talent expected to seriously compete at the 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by Canada as well as Mexico and the United States. Canada remain favourites for what could end up being quite a close contest in Suriname.
Suriname vs Canada Tip: DOUBLE CHANCE – CANADA TO WIN OR DRAW
