Guatemala vs Suriname predictions: Visitors to emerge victorious
Key stats
- Suriname are currently on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions.
- Guatemala managed one win in five FIFA World Cup qualifying games.
- Six of Guatemala's last eight matches produced goals at both ends.
Correct score prediction: Guatemala 1-2 Suriname
It is important to note that this is a meaningless game for Guatemala, as they cannot secure any of the top two spots in Group A with one match remaining.
On the other hand, Suriname have everything to play for, as they will likely earn an automatic spot in the next FIFA World Cup by winning this game.
Given that the visitors are unbeaten in the qualifiers, we believe that they will secure a much-needed victory on the road.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Suriname up against it
- HOME: 29/20 (2.45) – 40.8%
- DRAW: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- AWAY: 13/8 (2.63) – 38.1%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
With only one game remaining, Suriname are leading the Group A standings with nine points from a possible 15. They are tied on points with second-placed Panama but are ahead on a superior goal difference.
Interestingly, although Suriname can secure the top spot with a win, that could change if Panama defeat last-placed El Salvador by a significant margin.
Bearing that in mind, Guatemala are the expected winners at 29/20 (2.45). Teams with these odds generally have a 40.8% probability of winning.
