Preamble

Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The these sides have a special connection, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters.

"Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to continental competition in a short period."

Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under manager 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 riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the midpoint of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a knockout position.

Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
