Bournemouth Vs AC Milan Preview
Despite being European novices – entertaining their first continental journey in their 127-year history – Bournemouth beat Sturm Graz last week and opened their account with a win against Real Sociedad on MD1. Thursday’s glamour tie will provide a stern test of where the Cherries really are. They head into the match having beaten Sunderland 2-0 on Sunday afternoon.
After years of lacklustre performances in European competition, AC Milan will fancy their chances of going far in the 2026-27 Europa League. Under the guidance of former Man United boss Ruben Amorim, the Serie A giants thrashed RB Salzburg 4-0 but did slip to a 2-0 loss to Benfica on September 16. In Italy’s elite, Milan are unbeaten from their seven games.
Bournemouth Vs AC Milan H2H Record
This will be the first competitive meeting between the sides and something that is worth bearing in mind when it comes to Bournemouth vs AC Milan betting is that the Rossoneri have just two wins from their last 22 visits to England in European competition.
Bournemouth Vs AC Milan Team News
Eli Junior Kroupi is nearing a Bournemouth return but Thursday’s clash will come too soon for the French forward. The Cherries will also be missing England midfielder Alex Scott and Julian Araujo. In attack, Ben Gannon-Doak could get the nod again with Rayan dropping to the bench with a trip to Man United to consider on Sunday.
Meanwhile, AC Milan could be tempted to rotate with the small matter of the Derby della Madonnina to bear in mind on Halloween. Former Premier League stars Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori are expected to start in Dorset. Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers are ruled out injured.
