Hopefully they get either kiev or sampdoria - kiev away would be a daunting trip for anybody but it does concern me that they are reliant on an over the top shevchenko while samp have a real goal threat with pazzini and cassano up front
Anyway, does it matter who they get? Even if they do qualify they wont be seeded in the group stage so it will be hard for them to get out of that anyway...

Sampdoria are a big-name club, but I don't know how good they are these days. They're knocking around in these qualifiers so probably not very.
The reason they're in these qualifiers is because they finished 4th in Italy, they have to be pretty good to finish ahead of the likes of Juventus and Fiorentina.
Cassano and Pazzini on their day can cause any defence problems.
