Referee: The Dutch referee (from Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The both teams have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's last European campaign in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the the English club. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," noted the journalist. This represented an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European football in just three years." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The general expectation is on the home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the middle of the league phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a recovery for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
