Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from the lower league to European stage in three seasons."

One should note to consider Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to reach the final under British coach Houghton.

The current fixture is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this live coverage. Rangers have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the middle of the group stage with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a knockout position.
