Suriname will face Costa Rica at the Frank Essed Stadion on Friday in the another round of their 2024-25 CONCACAF Nations League campaign. The home side have had a mixed start to their Nations League campaign but remain in contention to advance from Group A, where they sit third with three points from two matches.
They were beaten 1-0 by Guadeloupe in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot in the opposition box throughout the match.
Meanwhile, Costa Rica beat Guadeloupe 3-0 in their group opener last month, with three different players getting on the scoresheet in the second half including Chicago Fire's Ariel Lassiter, who netted his first international goal since 2021. However, Los Ticos were held to a disappointing goalless draw against Guatemala in their second group outing and will be looking to rectify things this weekend.
The visitors sit atop Group A with four points from an obtainable six and will be looking to add to that tally come Friday.
