Tuesday, December 22, 2009 – Singapore will take on Oman in two friendly matches on 28 and 31 December at the Bishan Stadium, in preparation for their 2011 AFC Asian Cup Qualification match against I.R. Iran come January 6th (venue to be confirmed).

With Oman currently in 79th position according to the latest FIFA-ranking, and slightly behind 64th-placed Iran, National coach Radojko Avramovic is looking forward to play Oman next week as his final tune-up leading to the Iran match.

"The friendly matches with Oman will be good preparation for us as their playing style is quite similar to that of the Iranians. Both teams also have players with very good physical and technical skills."

While many felt that Jordan's recent shock victory over Iran threw a spanner in Singapore's Asian Cup Qualification campaign, Raddy insists that his game plan has not changed.

Said the Lions' maestro, "I have said before that we'll have to hunt for four points from the last two game, and this has not changed even though Jordan beat Iran in their last match."

"Most of our national team players have been training with us since the beginning of the month after taking a short break, and they have been working very hard on improving their fitness, as well as technical and tactical capabilities in preparation for the crucial match against Iran."

"We have always gone out with the intention to win and it will be no different this time."
