Nottingham Forest vs Malmo FF Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

Nottingham Forest host Malmo in the Europa League match week five on Thursday night.

Both teams will be looking for a win that would be vital for reaching the play-off round, after a disappointing campaign for both up to this point.

The hosts have only one win - against Porto - plus two draws and a loss, meaning they are 23rd in the group. In the Premier League, they are fighting for relegation but did just humble the Champions at Anfield.

The visitors are winless in Europe and are in 33rd place, taking just a single point from their four matches. In the Swedish Allsvenskan, they are sixth.

We're predicting over 2.5 goals here.

Predicted Lineups

Forest: Sels, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Savona, Sangare, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Dominguez, Jesus

Ola Aina, Douglas Luiz, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Dilane Bakwa and Taiwo Awoniyi are injured for Forest.

Malmo: Olsen, Duric, Jansson, Busanello, Larsen, Rosengren, Skogmar, Lewicki, Ekong, Haksabonovic, Gudjohnsen
