Prediction Suriname vs El Salvador 2026 – Betting Tips for the WC Qualification Concacaf on 13/11/2025

Preview: Suriname host El Salvador in a tight Group clash in Paramaribo

Suriname welcome El Salvador to the Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadion in Paramaribo on 13 November 2025 in what promises to be a decisive encounter in the 2nd Round of WC Qualification Concacaf. The compact venue — capacity 3,500 — will be rocking for a game that has clear stakes: Suriname top the group on 10 points after four matches, unbeaten with three wins and a draw, while El Salvador sit second on eight points having gone two wins and two draws in the same span. On form lines and group standings, the home side arrive with the edge, but El Salvador will not be without confidence after fighting to remain in contention.

Key trends and what matters on match day

Statistically Suriname look efficient: ten goals scored and only two conceded in group play, an impressive defensive baseline for a team that has also kept three clean sheets. Their shot metrics underline that productivity — more than a hundred total shots so far and a high shots-inside-box figure, pointing to a side that creates danger centrally. El Salvador, meanwhile, have been productive going forward as well, sporting seven group goals and conceding just twice, with an away goal haul that suggests they can threaten on the road.

The head-to-head memory is fresh and instructive: these teams met in September and Suriname took a 2-1 victory at El Salvador’s ground. That result gives Suriname a psychological edge heading into this rematch on home soil. Recent match narratives back this up; Suriname’s latest draw with Panama (1-1) showed resilience, while El Salvador arrive from a narrow 0-1 loss to Guatemala and a patchy run of results in their latest form report.

Tactical nuances will matter. Suriname’s averages for attacks and dangerous attacks indicate they are comfortable pushing forward from wide and central positions, whereas El Salvador’s higher overall attack numbers and corners average suggest they could try to unsettle the hosts with pressure and set-piece moments. Discipline could be a factor too — the visitors average more fouls and a slightly higher yellow card average, which could influence tight moments late in the match.

Context for bettors and readers

For those weighing market choices, consider both the standings and the scoreboard tendencies. Suriname have been consistent in the group and boast home advantage and a recent head-to-head win. El Salvador can score away and have a record of grinding out results, but their recent form shows more volatility.
