Lineups: Forest vs Malmö The Reds: Victor, Abbott, Milenkovic, The defender, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, The attacker, Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo. The Swedish side: Ellborg, Larsen, Jansson, Duric, Rosler, Haksabanovic, Johnsen, Skogmar, Bolin, Gudjohnsen, Busanello. Referee: Osmers (Germany) Starting Players The Light Blues: Butland, The defender, The center-back, Djiga, The full-back, Barron, Diomande, Raskin, Gassama, Danilo, Chermiti. Braga: Hornicek, The defender, Lagerbielke, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, The experienced midfielder, Gorby, The attacker, Navarro, The striker. Referee: Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The two clubs have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," commented the writer. This represented an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European football in a short period." Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Anfield 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. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the half-way stage of the group stage with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
