It’s not often you hear Nottingham Forest walk into a European night full of confidence, but this one feels different. The 3–0 win at Anfield is proper evidence that Sean Dyche has injected structure, grit and a bit of swagger into this Forest side.
Now, under the lights at the City Ground, they face a Malmo team still searching for its first Europa League win and struggling to find any rhythm in attack.
This feels like a night where Forest can take control, stay disciplined, and get the job done without going over the top.

Nottm Forest vs Malmo Best Bet Builder Tip: Nottingham Forest to Win to Nil @ 4/5
Forest have tightened up defensively under Dyche and come into this with two straight clean sheets, including that impressive shutout at Liverpool. Malmo, meanwhile, have scored just two goals in four Europa League games. Home win, no goals conceded looks like a solid pick.
Under 3.5 Total Goals @ 8/15
Forest will likely manage the game professionally rather than chase a high-scoring win. Malmo offer little threat going forward, and Dyche sides rarely get involved in goal-heavy matches. A controlled scoreline like 2–0 or 3–0 feels likely.
Malmo Most Cards @ 4/5
Under pressure for most of the game and chasing Forest’s movement, Malmo should find themselves on the back foot. They’ve collected cards in every Europa League game so far, and with Forest expected to dominate possession, this pick makes sense.
Morgan Gibbs-White to Score Anytime @ 9/4
He’s confident, involved in everything, and looks sharp in front of goal. Gibbs-White has scored in both of Forest’s last two matches and takes penalties too. Perfect anytime scorer selection.
Final Nottm Forest vs Malmo Prediction
Forest should approach this game with control rather than chaos. Dyche will expect discipline, structure and patience and Forest now have the confidence to deliver just that. Malmo look limited in frontline creativity, which strengthens the case for another Forest clean sheet.
