Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The two clubs have a special connection, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the mafficking," commented the writer. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European stage in three seasons."

Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to reach the final under manager Houghton.

Tonight's game is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the home team tonight.

Additional games on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been lost to a Braga this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a comeback for a knockout position.

Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
