Suriname vs Canada Preview
Suriname
Suriname, 136th on the FIFA World ranking, made it into the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Nations League by finishing second in Group A. They collected seven points out of the available 12 in the four rounds of fixtures, which meant that they were a point behind leaders and eventual group winners Costa Rica.
Much of Suriname’s recent success can be attributed to Stanley Menzo. The former Ajax goalkeeper, who played 6 international matches for the Dutch national team, gained coaching experience in the Netherlands, Belgium, China, and South Africa.
Menzo’s return to the Suriname national team, which he also managed during a short stint in 2022, was intended to develop the country’s football level along with the goal of trying to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in Suriname’s history.
A tough win, but we got the 3 points! 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎!

Under coach Menzo’s guidance, Suriname has lost just once in its last nine outings, a result of his focus on defensive organization. They head into the clash against Canada after beating Guyana 5-1, with Sheraldo Becker scoring a brace in the first half.
The backbone of Suriname’s squad consists of Dutch-born players who have chosen to represent Suriname, given the fierce competition for spots in the Dutch national team.
These players, naturalized to strengthen Suriname’s lineup, include Anfernee Dijksteel of Middlesbrough, Kenneth Paal from Queens Park Rangers, and Real Sociedad’s Sheraldo Becker.
Other seasoned players like Kelvin Leerdam, with stints in the MLS at Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami, and LA Galaxy, and captain Stefano Denswil, currently with Trabzonspor, bring valuable experience to the side.
Canada
Like Suriname, Canada failed to impress on the international stage for decades. However, with the qualification for the 2022 World Cup, the Canadians have made their mark in the football world. Hosting the 2026 World Cup, along with the USA and Mexico, Canada automatically qualified for the tournament.
Jesse Marsch has picked 10 Major League Soccer players in the 23-man squad preparing to face Suriname. These key players include Nashville SC’s Jacob Shaffelburg alongside Minnesota United’s shot-stopper Dyane St. Clair and striker Tani Oluwaseyi.
Our last meeting with Suriname was one to remember!
We meet 🇸🇷 again on Nov. 15, before hosting them on Nov. 19 in Toronto.

The squad also has European-based players, including Stephen Eustáquio of FC Porto, LOSC’s Jonathan David, and Mallorca’s Cyle Larin.
However, Les Rouges’ main man is Alphonso Davies. Canada’s captain, who has been playing for Bayern Munich since 2019 and can be considered their most successful player, contributes both in offence and defence and will steer his team to victory.
Canda played against Panama last month, and the match ended in a 2-1 win. In September, they beat Mexico and the United States in non-competitive encounters. Our betting preview highlights their form and preparedness ahead of their clash against Suriname.
Suriname vs Canada Prediction
- Pick: Canada to Win
- Odds: -223 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Suriname 1-2 Canada
Jesse Marsch’s side are favorites to win this Nations League match ahead of their encounter. Team performance analysis of their recent form has shown Canada in good goalscoring form, while their defensive set-up under Marsch has improved markedly.
With their 4-4-2 formation, headlined by a striking partnership of David and Larin, Canada managed to be potent in attack while maintaining a balance in their shape, bolstering their defensive showing.
Suriname’s form has them scoring freely and defensively robust. However, they will face a Canadian side with seasoned players, suited to handle high-pressure situations. Therefore, a head-to-head comparison reveals Canada are favored to win.
Suriname vs Canada Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Winning margin – Canada by 1
- Odds: +229 (20Bet)
Suriname have shown in previous matches that they are capable of expansive front-foot football. Our free betting tips show that Suriname will pose an attacking threat against Canada.
Jesse Marsch’s Canada also have the firepower to open defense up. Their twin-attack approach will allow them to stretch the Suriname defense, create gaps for midfield runners and wide players to exploit.
The result is an open and even-contested match, with best bets backing Canada to win by a one-goal margin.
