Hi,
I am not a teacher, but I think they're opposite.
Doubt: Negative meaning Suspect : Positive meaning.

Hi, suspect ; -to believe ( someone ) to be guilty without having any proof. -to think (something )to be false or doubtful -to believe (something )to be the case - a person who is believed guilty of a specified offence - adj. not to be trusted or relied upon
doubt ; -uncertainty about the truth ,facts,or existence of something -an unresolved difficulty or point - give someone the benefit of the doubt accept that someone is speaking the truth -no doubt almost certainly -to be inclined to disbelieve -to distrust or be suspicious of
doubt - opposite meaning - sure or certain
suspect - opposite meaning - believe ,trust
I am not a teacher ( thank godness ) but by coincidence I have bought some time ago a dictionary.
Regards Jan kidding , just kidding I don't know for sure - just wild guess. I bet in Vietnamese these two words are really opposite.
