Guatemala vs Suriname Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

The first participation in the history of Guatemala in a World Cup will not be for 2026. With 5 points won in as many days in these qualifiers, this team is 4 lengths behind the first two and it will therefore no longer be able to claim 1st place in this group. The Chapines had however achieved great things during the last rally by holding off Suriname 1-1 and winning in El Salvador 0-1. But then they saw their hopes shattered by losing at home to Panama 2-3 last week. Suriname, for its part, can experience a historic evening tonight.

This selection occupies 1st place in this group, tied on points with Panama but with a positive goal difference compared to its competitor +5 against +2. Therefore, a success in this match would bring it considerably closer to qualifying for what would be the 1st World Cup in its history. The 126th nation in the Fifa rankings is still undefeated in this group. Hanging last month by Guatemala 1-1 and by Panama 1-1, the Natio put itself in very good conditions by crushing El Salvador 4-0 last week. 

You have to get up early to find any trace of a known player in this Guatemala team. A large majority of them play in the country, particularly with the flagship club Municipal. Some elements of this team still tried their luck in MLS like goalkeeper Hagen (Columbus Crew), defender Herrera (DC United) and striker Escobar (CF Montreal).

With 17 goals scored in 53 caps, striker Oscar Santis is the main scorer of this team ahead of Rubio Rubin (13 goals in 37 caps). But it was substitutes Munoz and Ordonez who scored against Panama last week.

• Summary: Guatemala is going head to head with Suriname starting on 19 Nov 2025 at 01:00 UTC at Estadio Manuel Felipe Carrera stadium, Guatemala City city, Guatemala. The match is a part of the World Cup Qual. CONCACAF Group A .
