This Europa League fixture brings AFC Bournemouth up against AC Milan in a game where the two sides come in off very different moods from their cup matches. Bournemouth won 2-1 at home, while Milan lost 0-2 away in their first match of this competition. Bournemouth return home after winning 2 in a row in all competitions. Their attack is starting to click, but the defence still has spells where it switches off, especially late in games when they concede often. Milan, meanwhile, have lost just once in their last 5 and are unbeaten in 4 straight, but their away form in the cup is not settled, and the defence has moments where it opens up and lets opponents attack. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start. Bournemouth, playing at home, should dominate the ball and push forward more, while Milan will look to counter with the sharpness of an attack that scores consistently. If the hosts score first, the game will open up further and could finish with a narrow margin, as the shape of the match suggests.
