Chelsea vs AC Milan: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Chelsea continue their pre-season tour of Asia with a friendly against AC Milan in Indonesia.

The Blues were beaten by Juventus in Hong Kong earlier this week, and are looking to avoid a third straight pre-season defeat having also lost to Tottenham.

There were some reasons to be positive from the defeat to the Old Lady, but Xabi Alonso will want to see far more against another Italian opposition.

A familar face will be sitting in the opposition dugout, with ex-Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim now in charge of the the Rossoneri.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Chelsea vs AC Milan is scheduled for a 1pm BST kick-off on Saturday, August 8, 2026.

The match will take place at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium in Jakarta.

Chelsea vs AC Milan team news

Mykhailo Mudryk was given eight minutes off the bench on Wednesday, marking his first appearance since his doping ban was lifted, and will hope for more exposure in Jakarta.

Summer signing Danny Welbeck started the game, and went close to scoring early on, and should get another chance to impress.

Both Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill will be assessed ahead of the game after sitting out the loss to Juventus with minor knocks.

Chelsea vs AC Milan prediction

There has not been too much for Chelsea fans to get excited about so far this summer, on the pitch at least, and there will be some pushing for Xabi Alonso to show them something more after two underwhelming defeats, and one barmy 10-goal thriller.

AC Milan have played out draws with Celtic and Inter Milan so far this summer, and another draw feels like a fair prediction.
