AC Milan

Tips, Stats and Odds

FC Red Bull Salzburg are available at around 3.65 to beat AC Milan in their UEFA Europa League 2026-2027 match on Thursday and that looks like a decent underdog bet for the home side.

Danny Röhl has kept the Red Bull press going since taking over at the club in July 2026 and the Bullen remain a team that comes on strong, recovers the ball quickly and hits vertical passes early.

This will get the Rossoneri running, but it can also leave spaces in the defence for Milan's wing-backs and runners from deep to exploit, but Salzburg are a better bet here than their odds suggest and will certainly make it a competitive match.

Rúben Amorim's side, who have played a structured, high-intensity three-at-the-back system since June 2026, are built to match up well against Salzburg's style of play and Milan will feel they have the edge on paper.

But the Rossoneri have won none of their last three away games, drawing them all, so this is not the type of matchup where they can afford to sit back and hope.

Salzburg are 14th in the UEFA Europa League 2026/2027 League Phase table with three points from one match, while Milan are 29th on zero points from the same sample.

Diego Moreira's three-goal run in the last five games is the sharpest Milan can muster in the final third and if the Red Bull's press is on, he will have little chance of getting into promising positions.

Haris Tabakovic, who has one goal in one in this competition, will be Salzburg's focal point up front and their chances will rest on his performance.

The Bullen have won and lost their recent home matches, while Milan have drawn three and lost none away in their past three, suggesting the visitors will be the more structured team with the game likely to be tight.
