Match official: Lindhout (Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a unique relationship, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final decades past that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in a short period." It's also interesting to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. The current fixture is a very different to that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the midpoint of the league phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a playoff spot. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and Feyenoord v Celtic.
