No Fears for Milo Ahead of Draw

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac claims his side is ready for whichever team they get in Wednesday's draw for the next round of the 2010 African Nations\World Cup qualifiers.

The Serbian is seeking to take the Black Stars to their second straight World Cup and will discover which teams his side must beat to reach South Africa 2010.

We are favourites and we are one of the top teams. Teams must rather avoid us

Ghana's indifferent form in the first stage of the qualifiers, when they won all three games at home and also lost two at home, has led to suggestion of poor form and a team on the wane, but Milovan insists his side will be up for it regardless of who they come up against.

"We don't fear any team and we won't underestimate any team," Milovan Rajevac told the GFA's official website.

"There are a lot of teams that that may not look very good. But such teams have a lot of their players playing in Europe.

"Benin, for instance, has a lot of players playing in the French First Division. Such teams deserve respect. But we are ready for any team."

Despite being ready for any team, the Serbian is aware his side will need some luck too.

"We need some luck in the draw but there is no team we must avoid because we are a top seed; we are favourites and we are one of the top teams. Teams must rather avoid us."
