Champions League football betting odds - Sampdoria vs Werder Bremen

GENOA, ITALY: Sampdoria will hope to overcome a 3-1 first-leg defeat tonight as they host Werder Bremen in the final qualifying round of the Champions League. The Italians are favourites to win tonight, at 6/5 (bet £50 to win £60 profit) with Extrabet, Betfred and Victor Chandler, but it may not be enough, with Paddy Power offering 7/2 that they can qualify for the tournament proper. A draw tonight is 12/5 with most bookmakers, with Werder Bremen 12/5 with Bet 365 and Ladbrokes.

The first leg saw four goals and tonight Sampdoria are going to have to come out with an attacking mind-set, leaving themselves vulnerable to counter-attacks. The match is 3/4 with Canbet to feature at least 2.5 goals, with under 2.5 at 7/6 with the same firm.

A 1-1 draw is the favourite score for the game at 13/2 with William Hill, followed by 2-1 to Samdoria at 17/2 in what is expected to be an even game. 1-0 to the hosts is 9/1 with William Hill, while the same score in favour of Werder Bremen is 11/1 with Bet 365 and William Hill. Canbet offer 13/1 on a 0-0 draw, while 3-1 to Sampdoria is 20/1 with Coral.

Giampaolo Pazzini scored an injury-time goal for Sampdoria in the first leg and it is that goal that still gives them some hope of going through tonight. Pazzini is 6/1 favourite with Victor Chandler to open the scoring tonight, followed by Antonio Cassano, at 13/2 with the same firm. Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich striker Claudio Pizarro, who also scored in the first leg, is 7/1 with most bookmakers and is seen as the biggest threat for the visitors.

Sampdoria are 13/5 with Stan James, Blue Square and 888 Sport to lead tonight at both half-time and full-time and 5/1 with William Hill to win the match after drawing at half-time. The same price is available on draw/draw with Bet 365, Sky Bet, William Hill and Victor Chandler, while draw/Bremen is 8/1 with Ladbrokes.

Neither side is given much hope of winning the Champions League this season, with Werder Bremen at 99/1 and Sampdoria at 359/1, with both of those prices available on Betfair. Barcelona are favourites for the competition, at 10/3 with Stan James, Blue Square and 888 Sport.
