It has been an excellent start to life under Jesse Marsch for Canada, as the nation have continued to build momentum since their fine showing at the Copa America.
On Tuesday, they will be aiming to ensure their progression to the final four of the CONCACAF Nations League when they come up against Suriname.
The visitors this week have out-performed their odds already in the competition this year, but progression against Canada would send shockwaves across North America.

Canada vs. Suriname Prediction
Suriname deserve a lot of credit for their performances to reach this stage of the competition.
However, they are likely to come up short against a talented Canadian side that are going from strength to strength under Jesse Marsch.
Therefore, it could be worth siding with the hosts to cover the spread on Tuesday.
