Historical Context

Forest vs Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters.

"The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European football in three seasons."

It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton.

This match is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight.

Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the middle of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a knockout position.
