Team News: Nottingham Forest v Malmö Nottingham Forest: John Victor, Abbott, The center-back, Murillo, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, The winger, The striker. Malmö FF: Ellborg, Stryger Larsen, Jansson, Duric, The full-back, The midfielder, The midfielder, Skogmar, Bolin, The forward, Busanello.

Braga: The goalkeeper, Gomez, Lagerbielke, Niakate, The full-back, Zalazar, Moutinho, Gorby, Martinez, The forward, Horta. Referee: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Match Background The European clash and past encounters. The two clubs have a unique relationship, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing the English forward netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in just three years." Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to reach the final under manager Houghton. The current fixture is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the group stage with exactly zero. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
