Suriname and Barbados will square off in an international friendly fixture at the Flora Stadium on Friday.
Suriname have not been in action since securing a 2-1 victory over Guadeloupe in the group stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July 2021. Nigel Hasselbaink stepped off the bench to score the match winner with 15 minutes to go.
Barbados have also not been in action since suffering an 8-1 thrashing at the hands of Bermuda in a qualification fixture for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July last year.
Suriname have two friendlies lined up in the current international break, with a clash against Guyana to follow next Wednesday.

Suriname vs Barbados
Suriname are the slightly better side and also have home advantage in their favor. This installs them as favorites in the game but their lack of action for almost a year means the players might take some time to get in sync with one another.
The situation is not much different for Barbados and this could translate into an end-to-end game with plenty of goalscoring chances. Although one side could nick a win here, a high-scoring draw is the most probable result.
Prediction: Suriname 2-2 Barbados
