by Bradley Gibbs in Europa League Picks
There are a few of the later UEFA Europa League kick-offs that appeal from a betting point of view on Thursday, including the game due to be played at City Ground, where Nottingham Forest and Malmo will clash. Fresh from their shock win at Anfield last time out, the Tricky Trees, who are seemingly improving under the watchful eye of Sean Dyche, will be looking to secure three wins on the bounce for the first time since January.
Looking to stop the hosts from racking up a trio of wins will be a team from Sweden. Thursday's visitors are big boys domestically, there's no denying that, but they've not really carried themselves well on the continent this season, winning zero out of four, losing three. Given that they're yet to win a UEL game, Miloš Milojević's men don't look like qualifying for the knockouts, and they may find it tough against an improving team.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Malmo Prediction
Having returned to action from the bench against Liverpool last time out, Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to start this game, and if his last few UEFA Europa League efforts are anything to go by, then the tricky winger will be looking to notch his first continental goal of the campaign. Last time out in this competition, Hudson-Odoi looked hungry for goals, shooting three times.
So far this season, only one player has taken more UEL shots than Hudson-Odoi, who averages a healthy 3.33 shots per 90 minutes in this competition. Against a weak opponent, he can thrive in front of a home crowd, and more importantly, he looks a little leniently priced to do so.
Our Nottingham Forest vs Malmo Pick: Callum Hudson-Odoi to Score.
