Team News: Nottingham Forest v Malmö Nottingham Forest: The goalkeeper, Abbott, The center-back, The defender, Morato, The midfielder, Sangare, The midfielder, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo.

Match official: The Dutch referee (Netherlands) Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer the English forward heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," wrote the match reporter. This represented an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from the lower league to continental competition in just three years." Worth mentioning 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. Tonight's game is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The popular prediction is on the Forest tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the middle of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the current standings from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
