Preamble

Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The both teams have a historical link, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European stage in three seasons."

It's also interesting to consider Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to reach the final under manager Houghton.

The current fixture is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight.

Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a playoff spot.
