Suriname host Haiti at the Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadion in Paramaribo on Thursday in the 2023-24 CONCACAF Nations League.
Both teams are winless in the competition after two games, with Suriname second from bottom in Group B with just one point in the bag, while Haiti are hovering above them with two.
Suriname began their campaign with a late 1-1 comeback stalemate against Grenada on matchday one, but were beaten 1-0 by Cuba in their next game.
Head coach Aron Winter has called-up 23 players for their last two Nations League clashes, including key attacker Gleofilo Vlijter, who has scored 13 goals from 18 games.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Fonkel and defenders Djevencio van der Kust and Alierio Belfor are the only uncapped players in the squad.
On the other hand, Haiti have drawn both their Nations League games, first a 0-0 stalemate with Cuba and then a 2-2 draw with Jamaica, having led 2-0 inside 15 minutes of the kick-off.
Although the Red and Blues are safe from relegation, their quarter-final hopes are in danger, and anything but a victory could be detrimental to their progression.
