Players to watch from Puerto Rico
You have to watch out for these three players. The first is the attacker Kairo Ricardo Rivera (#9), he plays in the national league of his country, in the team he has stood out as a great attacker and could score in the game on Saturday. He is also a fundamental piece of the team as he has more experience than the others. Another player is Gerald Díaz (#11), the 24-year-old who plays in the Puerto Rican league is an important player and managed to score in the last match against the Cayman Islands. The Lugo player, JLeandro Antonetti (#5) at his young age is in one of the best soccer teams and will be key to distributing the ball all over the field.
Puerto Rico
In the same way, Puerto Rico comes from playing the Nations League and arrives with rhythm in the face of the confrontation. This year they seek to qualify for the Gold Cup and for that they must come out winners in Saturday's game. They have several young players who will give the team a new face. Their last game was against the Cayman Islands on March 24, 2023, the match ended in a 5-1 victory at Kirani James National Stadium and thus they got their first win of the year.
Suriname Players to Watch
The next three players are considered key to Suriname's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the match against Puerto Rico. Forward Sheraldo Becker (#13), plays in the professional league of Suriname. He is the fourth highest scorer for his team with 2 goals in 32 games played and will be very important for the Gold Cup due to his leadership. Forward Florian Jozefzoon (#11) is a great striker with lots of speed and good ball control. He is 24 years old and we could see him assist or score in the game on Saturday. Finally, the Welling United player from the National League South, Jeredy Hilterman (#3) is a very skillful player who managed to score in the last match. He has a lot of experience gained in England and it is very important that he leads the team in the game against Puerto Rico.
