Sampdoria face a difficult task at hand if they are to have any hopes of overturning their heavy defeat from the first leg of their playoff round and progress to the group stages of the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Italian club went into their playoff round clash against Werder Bremen as favorites to progress to the group stage but suffered a heavy 3-1 defeat in Germany. After a quiet first half, Bremen took the lead through Clemens Fritz in the 51st minute.

With Sampdoria being reduced to 10 men, Bremen completely dominated the game and Torsten Frings and Claudio Pizarro scoring two goals in space of two minutes before Giampaolo Pazzini gave his team a lifeline by scoring a consolation goal in injury time.

Sampdoria coach Domenico Di Carlo will be aware that his side will have to quickly forget that defeat if they are to take advantage of the late goal and maintain their perfect home record against German opposition on the European stage.

Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf on the other hand will be aware that the job is still half done and his side will have to improve on their poor record on Italian soil if they are to qualify to their sixth Champions League campaign in seven years.
