Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the the English club.

"Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the revelry," commented the writer. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from the lower league to continental competition in a short period."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton.

This match is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been lost to a Braga this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a qualification place.
