Portugal is team to avoid: Deschamps

France coach Didier Deschamps said Portugal was the team to avoid in the European zone World Cup qualifying playoffs ahead of Monday's draw.
France was assured of its place even before Tuesday's 3-0 final Group I victory over Finland at Stade de France.
It still retained a faint hope of snatching top spot but that would have needed Spain to lose at home to Georgia, something that never looked likely.
