Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a largely forgettable match to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham.

"The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," commented the writer. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European stage in just three years."

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

This match is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the midpoint of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a playoff spot.
