Lineups: Forest vs Malmö Forest: The goalkeeper, Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, The midfielder, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, The striker. Malmö: The goalkeeper, Stryger Larsen, The center-back, Duric, Rosler, Haksabanovic, Johnsen, Skogmar, Bolin, Gudjohnsen, The striker.

The Portuguese side: Hornicek, Gomez, Lagerbielke, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, Joao Moutinho, Gorby, Martinez, The forward, The striker. Match official: Lindhout (from Netherlands) Match Background Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing the English forward scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," commented the writer. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to continental competition in just three years." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. The current fixture is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the middle of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
