Bournemouth play one of the biggest fixtures in their 127-year history tomorrow night as Italian heavyweights AC Milan visit the Vitality Stadium in Matchday 3 of the Europa League .
The Cherries are in Europe for the first time this season and are off to a flyer with wins over Real Sociedad and Sturm Graz , but now comes arguably the toughest test they will face in the competition.
Milan are the second most successful club in European Cup history with seven titles, while they only lost once in nine games this season under former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim .
Bournemouth and Milan are 7/1 with BOYLE Sports to lift the Europa League trophy this season, just behind 11/1 favourites Juventus , and we think that parity will be reflected, with our opening Bournemouth vs AC Milan prediction being a draw @ 13/5.

Form Guides
Bournemouth form guide
Bournemouth should be full of confidence after beating Sunderland 2-0 at the weekend to record their first Premier League victory under new boss Marco Rose . That came hot on the heels of a 3-0 win over Sturm Graz , maintaining their 100 per cent Europa League record, and the Cherries are now chasing a third home victory in eight days.
However, Rose may be acutely aware of Bournemouth's poor record against the big clubs so far this season, their three defeats coming against Manchester City , Liverpool and Chelsea , and with Milan and Manchester United up next, he will be out to ensure there is no inferiority complex.
Looking at the Bournemouth vs AC Milan odds, a 1-1 draw at 6/1 has strong appeal while, for a bigger price, a 2-2 scoreline at 11/1 could be worth considering. We are also backing Evanilson to score for the fourth successive game @ 7/4 . Thanks to BOYLE Sports’ Sub Swap feature, if you opt for that bet and Evanilson is substituted without scoring, then your selection immediately transfers to his replacement, giving you a second chance to win.
AC Milan form guide
Milan fans are more used to dreaming of Champions League glory but have been forced to lower their expectations after two hugely disappointing Serie A campaigns. The 2022 Italian champions finished eighth in 2025 to miss out on Europe completely and had to settle for fifth last term after losing five of their final eight games, putting them into the Europa League .
That saw Massimiliano Allegri sacked and replaced by Amorim , who has enjoyed a steady start to life at San Siro following a turbulent 14-month spell at Old Trafford . Under the Portuguese , Milan have won five of nine matches in all competitions with their only setback being a 2-0 home defeat to Benfica in the Europa League .
The Rossoneri bounced back from that loss with a 4-0 drubbing of RB Salzburg last week, when 19-year-old forward Alphadjo Cisse netting a hat-trick before record signing Goncalo Ramos added a fourth.
Ramos was again on the scoresheet on Sunday as Milan beat Atalanta 3-2 to make it three wins from their last four matches, and the former PSG supersub is 15/8 to net in Dorset . Italy Under - 21 international Cisse , whose five goals this season have all come away from home, is 11/4 to get on the scoresheet.
