Bournemouth to host AC Milan at Vitality Stadium in UEFA Europa League league phase outing

On 2026-10-22 AFC Bournemouth will host AC Milan at the Vitality Stadium in their third league phase outing of the UEFA Europa League 2026-27, with both clubs arriving on positive recent form.

AFC Bournemouth began their European campaign with back-to-back wins and sit unbeaten in their opening league phase matches, recording a 3-0 victory over SK Sturm Graz in the UEFA Europa League before following up with a win against Sunderland in the Premier League under manager Marco Rose.

The visitors are described in the pre-match update as the Ruben Amorim-led side and arrive unbeaten in their last four matches, having beaten RB Salzburg 4-0 in their most recent Europa League fixture and winning 3-2 against Atalanta BC in Serie A.

Brazilian forward Evanilson was singled out for his performance in Bournemouth’s 2-0 win over Sunderland, when he doubled the lead and provided a crucial assist; the report states he will be deployed again as a sole striker and represents a constant threat to opposing defences.

Adrien Rabiot is highlighted among AC Milan’s performers, with the update noting he scored in the 3-2 victory over Atalanta and is one of the club’s most consistent players capable of influencing matches from midfield.

AC Milan will travel to the Vitality Stadium and the pre-match note adds that playing away could make the contest tougher for them, while also acknowledging the depth of players available to the Rossoneri.
