Portugal, who scraped into the play-offs by winning their last three Group One fixtures to seal runners-up spot, face Bosnia, Euro 2004 champions Greece tackle Ukraine and Russia will play Slovenia.
Bosnia, runners-up to Spain in their qualifying group, are attempting to reach their first major finals while Slovenia are looking to repeat their feat of reaching Euro 2000.
"We know what we have to do," Domenech told RTL radio. "The goal was always to qualify for the World Cup, whoever we faced. We know Ireland. They're very much like England, they all play in the Premier League.
"The France players know them well from having played either with or against them. There won't be any surprises. We know what's coming.
"They're a team who have not lost in qualifying, who drew with Italy in their last game after conceding a late goal. We know they're tough, but so are we."
"I've spoken to the manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, he's quite relaxed about it," Delaney told Irish radio.
"We don't lose games on many goals, we don't win games on many goals. I wouldn't expect that pattern to change."
"Russia are clear favourites in our two matches and I am worried about the conditions we will have in Russia," said Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek.
"But mainly I hope my players will be well prepared in the middle of November because this time the matches are decisive."
"Reputation has no weight or significance in these circumstances," Queiroz told RTP TV channel. "We have to prepare well to play against an excellent side that has a very dangerous attack."
Queiroz's Bosnian counterpart Miroslav Blazevic conceded Portugal would be favourites but did not rule out an upset.
"To be honest, I think the Portuguese are favourites. But it is not always the favourites that win," he said.
