Prediction :

 

Costa Rica wins the match

 

Costa Rica and Suriname are set to face off in matchday one action at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. These two are slotted in Group A, which also has the reigning champions, Mexico, and minnows Dominican Republic. We have a prediction for this match below.

Costa Rica are regulars at this competition, and facing Suriname looks, and is, lopsided. Having reached the quarter-finals in the 2023 edition, Costa Rica will be targeting an improvement.

The last time they got to the semis was in 2017. Recently, there have been deliberate moves to strengthen the side, which include the return of Keylor Navas.

Suriname are making a fourth appearance at the Gold Cup. In their last two, they failed to go past the group stage. They will definitely get the excitement of facing top teams here, and if they can proceed to the knockouts, it will count as a major moment in football.

While this might be a challenge too big, Suriname. Will look at their recent run with optimism. They are unbeaten in four matches, winning three. All four matches were in competitive action, but the opponent they square up to here was a massive giant.

After wins over Martinique and Puerto Rico, they drew 1-1 with El Salvador.

Our Costa Rica vs Suriname Prediction

Costa Rica are one of the teams expected to ruffle the heavyweights at the 2025 Gold Cup. Starting off against Suriname should be a straightforward win, more like a warm-up for the tougher matches ahead.

This is a match they’ve never lost and rarely draw. Suriname are on a good run too, but they haven't faced a team of Costa Rica’s profile. Should Suriname avoid defeat in this fixture, it will feel like defeat for Costa Rica just the same way it would make headlines. Our prediction for Costa Rica v Suriname is that Costa Rica wins the match.
