France and Belarus play their UEFA 2018 World Cup Qualifying match in Minsk. Olivier Giroud of France stated that teams like Belarus, Luxembourg and Bulgaria are weaker than them but they will still not take them lightly.
"I don't know this team (Belarus), we haven't had time to study them," Giroud said to Le Parisien (via ESPN).
"We expect a difficult match but it's up to us to make it easy. They're well into their league season so physically they'll be in top shape, which won't be our case, me especially."
