Match Background

Forest vs Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a unique relationship, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the the English club.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to European stage in just three years."

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

Tonight's game is a distant from 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 Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight.

Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the half-way stage of the group stage with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a qualification place.
