Match Background

The European clash and past encounters. 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 European Cup final decades past that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters.

"The legendary management duo, modestly dressed amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," commented the writer. This represented 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 pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Scandinavian side to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton.

The current fixture is a distant from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing 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 Forest tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. Rangers have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the half-way stage of the initial phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a playoff spot.

Updates will continue with all the late games and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
