2026-2027 Europa League: Salzburg vs. Milan, Probable Lineups and Where to Watch It on TV

Fresh off a draw in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo in league play, Milan returns to the Europa League needing to secure three points—not only for practical reasons, as they’re still struggling to climb the standings, but also to rebuild confidence that’s been shaken by several low points and few highs so far this season. Their opponent on Matchday 2 of the group stage is Salzburg, a club that has become a fixture in European competitions. The match kicks off at 6:45 p.m. at the Red Bull Arena, with live TV coverage on Sky Sport and streaming on Now.

Currently second in their domestic league, behind Rapid Vienna, Salzburg advanced to the Europa League group stage after a hard-fought victory over Pafos (1-0 in Austria, a 3-3 comeback win in Cyprus after trailing 0-2). On the first matchday of the group stage, the Red Bulls defeated Levski Sofia on the road, with a goal by Haris Tabakovic, a Bosnia and Herzegovina national team player, proving decisive in securing their first three points in the standings.

Milan, on the other hand, was quite disappointing in its first European match of the season, losing 2-0 at San Siro to Benfica on goals by Lukebakio and Kaminski. In their next two matches, both league games, the Rossoneri beat Lecce 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Sassuolo, losing Alexis Saelemaekers and then Matteo Gabbia to injury along the way. The match in Salzburg could be an opportunity for Camarda, with Gonçalo Ramos likely to be rested, at least in the first half.
