Match between Chelsea and AC Milan - Preview

The meeting of Chelsea and AC Milan in Jakarta is one of the most eye-catching pre-season fixtures of the summer of 2026 - a clash between two of Europe's most storied clubs on a stage that Indonesian football fans have been anticipating since the announcement.

For Chelsea, the Jakarta showdown comes after a Premier League campaign that ended with 14 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses - a tally that left Enzo Maresca's side looking for greater consistency. Their pre-season has been mixed: a lively 6:4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers was quickly followed by a 1:2 defeat to Tottenham, suggesting that the squad is still finding its shape ahead of the new season.

AC Milan arrive as Europa League participants for 2026-27 following a difficult finish to Serie A, during which they collected just 1 win in their last 4 league games. A 2:2 pre-season draw against Celtic gave little clarity about their ambitions. The clash between these two sides in Jakarta promises to be a genuine test of intent for both clubs before competitive football resumes.

Head-to-Head: Chelsea vs AC Milan

Chelsea hold a commanding record against AC Milan, having won all 4 of their most recent encounters with a combined score of 12:2 in the Blues' favour. Across all 11 meetings since 2004, Chelsea have won 8, lost 2, and drawn 1 - a dominance that has been consistent across Champions League nights and summer friendlies alike.

The most recent head-to-head meetings between Chelsea and AC Milan:

• 10 August 2025 - Friendly - Chelsea 4:1 AC Milan
• 11 October 2022 - UEFA Champions League - AC Milan 0:2 Chelsea
• 5 October 2022 - UEFA Champions League - Chelsea 3:0 AC Milan
• 4 August 2016 - International Champions Cup - AC Milan 1:3 Chelsea

Chelsea - Recent Form

Chelsea enter this pre-season fixture having won just 2 of their last 5 matches across all competitions, a record that reflects the inconsistency that has held the Blues back from the very top of the Premier League.

The final weeks of their 2025-26 campaign told a story of near-misses and slip-ups: a 2:1 home win over Tottenham in the Premier League was sandwiched between a 1:2 loss at Sunderland and a 0:1 FA Cup Final defeat to Manchester City. Pre-season began with contrasting performances - a high-scoring 6:4 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers and then a 1:2 reverse against Tottenham - leaving Chelsea still searching for their best XI ahead of the new campaign.

AC Milan - Recent Form

AC Milan head into the Jakarta friendly having won only 1 of their last 5 matches - a run that included 3 defeats and exposed a fragility that plagued the Rossoneri through the final stretch of the Serie A season.

Their Serie A finale was deeply disappointing: a 0:2 defeat at Sassuolo on 3 May was followed by a 2:3 home loss to Atalanta, a 2:1 win away at Genoa, and then a 1:2 reverse at home to Cagliari on the final day. In their only pre-season outing, they were held to a 2:2 draw by Celtic. Having finished the Italian top flight in a Europa League place, the Rossoneri clearly need this summer to build confidence and cohesion before the new season begins.
