Key Stats - Rossoneri Building Momentum

Bournemouth have lost 2 of their last 4 matches.
AC Milan have won their last 2 games.

H2H

AC Milan beat Bournemouth 2-1 in the only previous meeting.

Bournemouth Less Convincing Against Top Sides

Marco Rose’s Bournemouth made a solid start to the campaign with a five-match unbeaten run. The Cherries beat Real Sociedad 2-1 away in the Europa League during that streak.

Bournemouth then had two defeats against Liverpool at home 1-0 and Chelsea away 5-1. The south coast team replied by defeating Sturm Graz 3-0 in the Europa League.

Rose’s outfit sealed back-to-back wins for the first time since May following a 2-0 league victory against Sunderland. Marcus Tavernier scored in the fifth minute and Evanilson also struck as Bournemouth had six shots on target.

AC Milan Starting to Click Under Amorim

AC Milan have lost just one of their nine matches in the 2026/27 season. The Serie A giants fell to a 2-0 home loss against Benfica in the Europa League.

The Rossoneri are unbeaten in four, winning three, since that defeat. AC Milan beat Lecce 3-0, drew 1-1 at Sassuolo and defeated Salzburg 4-0 in the Europa League.

Ruben Amorim’s side also beat Atalanta 3-2 at home on Sunday. The Rossoneri had 2.58 XG, six shots on target and Goncalo Ramos, Adrien Rabiot and Mario Gila got on the scoresheet.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Bournemouth (4-1-4-1): Djorde Petrovic; Adam Smith, James Hill, Antonio Silva, Adrien Truffert; Tyler Adams; Rayan, Justin Kluivert, Lewis Cook, Marcus Tavernier; Evanilson

Defender Julian Araujo is out with a long-term thigh issue. Forward Eli Junior Kroupi is also unavailable due to a foot injury.

Alex Scott remains sidelined with a hamstring problem. Marco Rose was hopeful the midfielder would return sooner than expected and said:

“We are not talking about 6-8 weeks anymore. We are quite confident that we get him back maybe a little bit earlier.”

AC Milan (3-4-3): Mike Maignan; Mario Gila, Koni De Winter, Strahinja Pavlovic; Samuel Chukwueze, Yunus Musah, Luka Modric, Diego Moreira; Adrien Rabiot, Goncalo Ramos, Christian Pulisic

Midfielder Filippo Terracciano was sent off against Salzburg and is suspended here.

Defender Matteo Gabbia is ruled out due to a thigh injury and midfielder Alexis Saelemaekers has an ankle issue.

Verdict

Bournemouth v AC Milan

Bournemouth face a step up in quality against AC Milan at the Vitality. The Rossoneri will want to extend their winning streak and an away Europa League win has good value.
