Tesser, who led the club to successive promotions, had been dismissed on January 30. Novara go into the game on the back of two straight defeats and lie at the foot of the standings, 12 points from safety.

ENGLISH LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: 12BET West Ham United Vs Watford 3/8 3:45AM GMT+8

Matt Taylor returns to the West Ham squad for the visit of Watford. The midfielder has missed the last three matches through suspension after he was sent off in the 1-1 draw with Southampton last month. Defender Winston Reid could miss out again after he was knocked unconscious playing for New Zealand last week and winger Julien Faubert will be checked over having sat out Sunday's win at Cardiff with a virus.

Watford will continue to be without long-term injury victims Martin Taylor and Stephen McGinn for their Championship clash with West Ham. Defender Taylor has a shoulder problem which is preventing him from being a part of manager Sean Dyche's matchday squad, while midfielder McGinn is still not ready for a first-team return from a knee problem despite playing 45 minutes of a reserve team match last week - his first outing for a year. Dyche hopes both players will feature for the second string next week as they step up their recoveries.

Exeter are set to be without Billy Jones once again. Jones sat out the Grecians' 1-1 draw with Stevenage at St James Park on Saturday with a thigh problem, and the injury is likely to rule the full-back out of the visit to Griffin Park.

Varney - Pompey can survive

Fratton Park midfielder has 'gut feeling' club will be saved

 

Portsmouth midfielder Luke Varney remains confident that the Fratton Park club can be saved from financial oblivion. 

Pompey were plunged into administration for the second time in as many years last month and there are fears that they may not be able to complete the season, due to their dire situation. The prospect of salvation has emerged in the shape of former owner Balu Chainrai, who has told Sky Sports News HD that he would be prepared to take control of the club again if it prevents liquidation.

And Varney, who joined the South Coast side in the summer from Derby, has a 'gut feeling' that the 2008 FA Cup winners will live to fight another day. "It's a difficult situation. I just hope someone comes in and completely wipes the slate clean. This club deserves it," he said. - http://www1.skysports.com/

Hertha Berlin faces Werder Bremen for Bundesliga1 matches

GERMANY-BUNDESLIGA I: 12BET odds Hertha Berlin Vs Werder Bremen 3/3 10:30PM GMT+8

Werder Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf hopes that 2012 can be a year like 2004 when Werder Bremen pipped Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal. Schaaf has been in charge of the northern Germany side for 11 years now and he still looks back on that year when he looks for new motivation.

Berlin have also enough reason to be optimistic after beating defending champions Borussia Dortmund recently. Bremen should also be close to full strength with Claudio Pizarro and Marko Marin both back in training after shaking off knocks, but Sokratis Papastathopoulos is unavailable.
