Braga: Hornicek, The defender, Lagerbielke, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, The experienced midfielder, The midfielder, Martinez, Navarro, The striker. Referee: The Dutch referee (Netherlands) Preamble The European clash and historical connections. The these sides have a special connection, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the record-breaking signing Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," commented the writer. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from the lower league to continental competition in three seasons." It's also interesting to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. This match is a distant from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with exactly zero. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
