Ghana coach Avram Grant is not taking his 2018 FIFA World Cup finals qualifying opponents lightly ahead of November’s clash.

The Black Stars will face either Comoros Islands or Lesotho over two legs in the second qualifying round contest.

Victory will see the three-time World Cup finalists reach the Group stage for qualification to Russia.

“I think the system for Africa is a little bit new for me so we know only the first game and then we know we will go to the group stages,” the Israeli trainer said.

”In any case, I think in Africa, all the group stages will be very difficult because it contains a lot of good teams and only less than 10% have qualified.

If you compare to South America, 50% of the teams have qualified; in Europe, I think over 30 (%).

“It will be difficult but we have a good team.”
