Nottingham vs Malmo form
Nottingham started this season with many uncertain signs. The irreconcilable conflict between coach Nuno Santo and the City Ground's upper echelons forced the strategist who created unexpected success for Forest last season to leave.
Along with the troubles behind the scenes, Nottingham has been in a slump. In the Premier League, the central English team has lost 6, drawn 2 and won only 1 after the first 9 rounds, stuck in the second to last position on the table. The series of poor results has caused the hot seat at City Ground to change hands once again.
Ange Postecoglou arrived with high expectations but was quickly dismissed without fanfare. It was only when Sean Dyche was given the confidence that the atmosphere of optimism returned to the East Midlands club.
In the past 6 appearances under the guidance of the former Everton coach, Nottingham has lost only 1, drawn 2 and won 3. Thanks to a clear improvement in form, Forest has escaped the red light zone, temporarily rising to 16th place.
Notably, in the last two rounds of the Premier League, Nottingham defeated Leeds United (a direct competitor at the bottom of the table) with a score of 3-1 and won shockingly 3-0 right at the Anfield stadium of defending champion Liverpool.
In the Europa League, Nottingham still has a great chance of being in the top 8, despite being only ranked 23rd. After 4 matches, the home team at City Ground won 1, drew 2 and lost 1, 3 points behind 8th place.
If they defeat Malmo in the upcoming match, coach Sean Dyche and his team will likely make a leap forward in the rankings. The task does not seem too difficult, if we consider the form and class of the two sides.
Malmo ended their journey in the Swedish National Championship on November 9. Not only could they not successfully defend their title, the team at Eleda Stadium also finished 6th and will be absent from the European arena next season if they cannot win the Europa League this season.
After 30 rounds, Malmo was extremely disappointing with only 13 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses, falling 26 points behind the new champion Mjallby AIF. In the Europa League qualifying round, the team under the direction of coach Anes Mravac also showed an equally poor performance.
After 4 matches, Malmo has only pocketed 1 point from 1 draw and 3 losses. With their current poor form, it would not be surprising if the away team had to leave City Ground empty-handed.
