Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer the English forward heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the the English club.

"The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European stage in just three years."

Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob Houghton.

The current fixture is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight.

Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the middle of the group stage with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a recovery for a knockout position.
