Guatemala vs Suriname Prediction: Stats, Tactics, and Betting Insights

The Guatemala vs Suriname prediction for November 19, 2.25, is more than just a numbers game—it's a tale of two teams at a crossroads, with both eyeing a strong finish to their World Cup Qualification journey. As the clock ticks towards the 01:00 GMT kickoff at Estadio Manuel Felipe Carrera, fans and punters alike are searching for the story behind the stats, the tactical chess moves, and the best betting odds. Let’s dive into the details that matter most.

Team Form, Tactics, and Key Players

Guatemala, under the steady leadership of Luis Fernando Tena, have built a reputation for tactical discipline and resilience. Their recent 2.2 loss to Panama may have dashed their World Cup playoff hopes, but their overall form in the CONCACAF qualifiers—three wins, four draws, and three defeats—shows a side that rarely goes down without a fight. Their preferred 4-2.2.35 formation is designed for balance, with Aaron Herrera and Morales pushing up the flanks, and a front line featuring Óscar Santis, Rudy Muñoz, and Rubio Rubín. In goal, Nicholas Hagen remains a reliable last line of defense.

Suriname, meanwhile, have quietly impressed in this qualification cycle. With three wins, five draws, and only two losses, they enter this match unbeaten in their last six qualifiers. Coach Stanley Menzo has focused on organization and scouting, blending domestic talent with dual-nationality players like Sheraldo Becker, Tjaronn Chery, and captain Shaquille Pinas. Despite minor injury concerns for Jean-Paul Boëtius and Immanuel Pherai, Suriname’s squad depth and €24.27m market value (compared to Guatemala’s €8.40m) give them a slight edge in quality.

Head to Head and Recent Results

  • Guatemala and Suriname last met on October 10, 2.25, ending in a 1-1 draw.
  • Historically, Guatemala has never lost to Suriname in World Cup qualifiers (2 wins, 1 draw).
  • Both teams recently held Panama to a 1-1 away draw as heavy underdogs, showing their grit against stronger opposition.

Statistical Breakdown and Tactical Observations

  • Expected ball possession: Guatemala 46%, Suriname 54%
  • Total shots: Guatemala 12, Suriname 11
  • Shots on target: Guatemala 3, Suriname 4
  • Total corners: 8 (4 each)
  • Yellow cards: 1 per team

Guatemala’s tactical approach relies on structured buildup and exploiting the wings, but they sometimes lack the clinical edge in front of goal. Suriname, on the other hand, tend to control possession and look for quick transitions, making the most of their technically gifted midfielders. Both sides have shown they can dig deep defensively, which could keep the total goals tally modest.

What to Expect and Final Thoughts

  1. Suriname’s superior squad depth and recent form give them the edge, especially with more to play for in the group standings.
  2. Guatemala’s home advantage and tactical discipline could keep things tight, but a lack of cutting edge up front may hinder their chances.
