Match official: The Dutch referee (Netherlands) Match Background The European clash and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the record-breaking signing the English forward scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," commented the writer. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in a short period." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Swedish club to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since 9 November following the completion of Allsvenskan. 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 Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero.
