Match Background
Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The these sides have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final decades past that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters.
"Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," commented the writer. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to continental competition in just three years."
One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton.
The current fixture is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are riding high after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight.
Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a knockout position.
Updates will continue with all the late games and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
