It’s possible that this group could be all wrapped up on Wednesday.
In simple terms, if both Costa Rica and Mexico win they are through. Top spot would then be decided when the two nations meet on Sunday.
But there are also scenarios where only one team gets through on matchday 2.
If Costa Rica beat Dominican Republic, they alone will be through if Mexico draw.
For only Mexico to qualify, it would take a draw in Costa Rica vs. Dominican Republic followed by a Mexico win.
If either Dominican Republic or Suriname get a victory, no team can qualify on matchday 2.
