Preamble

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The these sides have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, 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 Second Division to European stage in a short period."

Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to make the championship match under British coach Houghton.

This match is a very different to that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the Forest tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the midpoint of the league phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a qualification place.
