Suriname vs Guadeloupe

Suriname and Guadaloupe will lock horns in their final 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage showdown at BBVA Compass Stadium, with both teams already bowed out of the competition.

Despite holding their opposition on the day to a goalless half-time across their opening two Gold Cup fixtures, Suriname conceded precisely two second-half goals to lost both Group C outings. With nothing but pride to play for here, ‘A-Selektie’ will be looking to bounce back from a dismal three-game losing streak in all competitions, a sequence that saw them concede 2+ goals on each occasion. Picking up an elusive first Gold Cup win could be an added incentive, with Suriname losing ten of their 11 overall matches in the competition (D1). An encounter against Guadaloupe looks to be a prime opportunity for Suriname to break their Gold Cup hurdle, considering they’ve avoided defeat in both of their only previous competitive H2H meetings (W1, D1 – 90 mins only).

Meanwhile, ‘Les Gwada Boys’ have lost both opening group phase matches by over 1.5 goals ‘to one,’ with both of their strikes across those contests coming in the first half of play. By extension, Guadaloupe have suffered seven Gold Cup reverses on the trot, returning a disastrous -12 goal difference from that span (GF:5, GA:17). Yet, Guadaloupe’s recent internationals suggest this could be a high-scoring affair, considering six of their last eight games have contained over 2.5 total goals. But before losing back-to-back Group C fixtures, Guadaloupe had enjoyed a six-match unbeaten streak in all competitions (W5, D1 – 90 mins only), notably bagging an average of 4.6 goals per game in that period.
