Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the Forest tonight. Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
