Key Match Highlights
Intermission: Kyiv 0-1 Palace
An excellent beginning to the European competition proper for Palace, with Daniel Muñoz’s header giving the visitors a deserved lead in the Polish city.
Intermission: Celtic FC 0-1 Braga
One more difficult European night for Brendan Rodgers thus far, as the visitors lead through Horta's distance shot, which had Kasper Schmeichel struggling at thin air.
Fixture Context
Forest's last homeground match in Europe was a sobering occasion: optimistic after coming back from Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the home side shipped five goals to a rampant Bayern Munich team in 1996. This evening's opponents, FC Midtjylland, did not even exist at that time – the Danish side were established by a fusion in 1999 but have gathered extensive European experience in the last decade, and pose a challenging test for the Forest manager, yet seeking his first victory as Nottingham Forest head coach.
Aston Villa have also made an underwhelming start to the campaign and confront a more renowned European name in Feyenoord Rotterdam – whose stadium in Rotterdam was the location of Villa’s greatest night back in 1982. While supporters savor a nostalgic journey to De Kuip, Unai Emery’s chief worry will be sustaining momentum after eking out successive victories over Bologna FC and Fulham in the previous seven days.
Speaking of tough beginnings, the Rangers manager might have finally won a match and improved his standing among Rangers supporters by around 0.0001%, but SK Sturm Graz – defeated by FC Midtjylland in their Europa League opener – look able of sending the under-pressure coach to rock bottom. One more manager under pressure, Aberdeen’s Thelin, hosts Shakhtar to Pittodrie.
All those matches start at 20:00 (BST), with updates from Palace's European trip to face Kyiv in the Polish venue and Celtic’s homeground Europa League fixture against Braga, plus all the other hot Euro action. Hold tight!
