The European nation did not win any of their September round of games. The last time Germany won a match was way back in June when they defeated Italy 5-2.
Germany have a chance to head into the upcoming World Cup on a positive note when they take on Oman in a friendly on Wednesday. Unlike the European nation, Oman have not been able to book a ticket to Qatar. Hence, they can use the Wednesday night contest to gain some much-needed confidence against one of the heavyweights of the world. On the other hand, Germany will be eager to end their recent slump in their final friendly before the World Cup.

The European nation did not win any of their September round of games. The last time Germany won a match was way back in June when they defeated Italy 5-2. Following that victory, they were beaten 1-0 at home to Hungary before being held to a 3-3 draw against England. On the other hand, Oman’s form has been a bit inconsistent of late. They are heading into this contest on the back of losing their last match to Jordan. They still have three more matches to play before the end of this year.

For the fringe players in the German squad, this match will be extremely important. They can showcase their skills to the head coach on Wednesday, thereby pushing hard for a starting spot. The only bit of worry for them will be about the health situation of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, otherwise, they have more or less everyone available. On the other hand, Oman have a few friendlies to play before the year comes to a halt. Hence, the coach could rotate his squad to hand chances to a lot of players.
Oman possible line-up: Al-Rushaidi, Durbin, Al-Busaidi, Al-Habsi, Al-Harthi, Al-Khaldi, Al-Alawi, Al-Saadi, Al-Yahyaei, Al-Muqbali, Al-Hajri
Germany possible line-up: Trapp, Kehrer, Klostermann, Sule, Raum, Gundogan, Gotze, Musiala, Gnabry, Sane, Moukoko
