Following a sluggish start with defeat in Austria, France are third in Group Seven with four points from three matches, five points behind leaders Serbia and second-placed Lithuania, although they have a game in hand.
"The pitch could complicate things," Domenech told reporters this week. "The conditions are far from ideal. We would have preferred better weather conditions but it is mostly the condition of the pitch that is worrying."
"We have to win these matches. This qualification will be hard to get but mostly if we make it hard to get," the right back told reporters.
"We have fantastic players and we cannot waste what we have. But talent is not enough. With talent you win matches but if you want to win a World Cup, you need a team.
"For the moment, the talent is stronger than the team. We must turn this around."
The main problem for Lithuania's Portuguese coach Jose Couceiro is that key defender Marius Stankevicius will not be able to play in either qualifier after injuring his foot.
"The French have plenty of good players," Couceiro told news portal www.alfa.lt before leaving for a training camp in Germany last week.
"Everyone knows our teams are at different levels, but we also have some good players and we can still win. It's going to be tough, very tough, but if you start a game with a loss in mind, there is no point in starting it."
