Oman and Belarus will meet in a friendly in Al Ain, UAE, on Sunday (November 20).
The Reds are winless in their last four games, including a late 1-0 loss to Germany on Wednesday, where Niclas Fullkrug netted an 80th-minute winner. Branko Ivankovic's side are looking to find their feet going into the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup in January by picking up wins in their last few games of the year.
The Middle East outfit saw their wait for a first World Cup appearance continue after going out in the third round of the AFC qualifiers. Australia pipped Oman to the playoff spot by just a point to end their qualification hopes.
Belarus, meanwhile, started their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 4-2 loss to Estonia before losing their next seven on the bounce to finish last in their group. Their poor form later continued in the UEFA Nations League, where the White Wings failed to win any of their six games, drawing and losing thrice apiece.
However, Georgy Kondratyev's side narrowly overcame Syria on Thursday for their first win in months. Thaer Krouma's 81st-minute own goal handed them to a 1-0 win.
