Match Background
The European clash and historical connections. The these sides have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the the English club.
"The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to European football in three seasons."
Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton.
The current fixture is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight.
Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been lost to a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a qualification place.
Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
