Neither of the matches between these clubs has ended in a draw.

Nottingham Forest are all set to go head-to-head against Malmö FF for their round 5 league phase fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League. The City Ground will witness this interesting outing.

The Garibaldis are coming in after securing a sensational 3-0 win against Liverpool. They will be looking to use this momentum to their advantage. Nottingham Forest have only won one of their four games in the UEL tournament.

Malmö FF are going to be under pressure from the start as they are yet to secure a win in their ongoing campaign of the UEFA Europa League. They have shown inconsistent performances domestically as well. Di blåe will be in a tough battle for their next outing.

Players to Watch

Igor Jesus (Nottingham)

The 24-year-old is going to have a big responsibility on his shoulders as he is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Nottingham Forest. He has scored three goals in three UEFA Europa League appearances this season. Igor Jesus will be keen to trouble the opponent’s defence at all times.

Oscar Lewicki (Malmo)

Oscar Lewicki must regulate the ball well in the midfield and must not let opponents take many chances. He can also be a crucial part for the visitors in the build-up. Even though he has only scored a single goal in the Europa League this season, Lewicki remains an important part of the squad.
