Official: Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a historical link, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player Francis heading the only goal of a largely forgettable match to claim legendary status for the the English club. "The legendary management duo, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European stage in three seasons." One should note to consider Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to reach the final under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
