RB Salzburg vs AC Milan Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Europa League 2026-27
The Rossoneri dominated the proceedings when the two clubs last met!
FC Red Bull Salzburg will go head-to-head against AC Milan for their second league phase outing of the UEFA Europa League 2026-27 campaign. This will be an interesting outing, which is scheduled to take place at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
Die Roten Bullen are undefeated in their last five competitive matches and will be keen to continue their positive run of form. In their opening contest of the UEL this season, they came out on top with a 1-0 victory against Levski Sofia. Danny Röhl’s men kept the momentum well in their favour and bagged three crucial points.
They will be the hosts for their upcoming fixture and must use it to their advantage. Their next clash is going to be against the Italian giants. It will not be an easy one.
Even though AC Milan are doing well in the Serie A, the same cannot be said for their start in the European competition. They were outplayed by SL Benfica after an underwhelming performance. It was a 0-2 loss for them, and they will be eager to bounce back now.
The Ruben Amorim-led side, with superior squad quality, should take control early in the game. They are going to be the visiting side for their next UEFA Europa League contest. The Rossoneri will not be looking to repeat mistakes from their last outing and will be desperate to secure three points.
