Oman beat Syria 2-1 in Dubai last week.

Syria and Oman will lock horns at the Police Officers Club Stadium in the United Arab Emirates on Friday (December 30) for a second friendly in seven days as both team look to end the year on a high. The sides met on Friday in Dubai, which ended in a 2-1 win for the Reds.

Issam Al-Sabhi opened the scoring for Oman in the 21st minute before Mataz Saleh doubled their lead in the second half. Just two minutes later, though, Ahmad Ashkar reduced arrears, but that wasn't enough as Syria succumbed to their fifth straight defeat.

Since beating Tajikistan 1-0 in June, the Qasioun Eagles have gone off the boil. Oman, meanwhile, have now secured back-to-back friendly wins after going four games without one. Al-Ahmar will look to make it three before heading into the Arabian Gulf Cup in January.

Branko Ivankovic's side will face Iraq, Yemen and Saudi Arabia in the group stage, starting on January 6, 2023.

Syria will be gunning for revenge for their earlier defeat although form isn't on their side, as it has been six months since the Qasioun Eagles last won a game.
