Inter
Christian Chivu's side delivered a 4-0 away victory against Union in the last round. The Italians have been flawless in this Champions League campaign with three wins and no goals conceded. They share the lead for clean sheets with Arsenal. Prior to the main stage, the club had conceded in six consecutive games in this tournament. Additionally, their attacking prowess is commendable, having scored at least twice in 10 of their last 11 Champions League matches. Inter currently occupies the 3rd spot in the overall standings.
- Lautaro Martinez has scored 11 goals in his last 10 Champions League appearances.
- At home, the team has won 7 of their last 9 matches in this tournament (2 draws).

Midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and defender Matteo Darmian will miss the match due to injuries.
Kairat
The Kazakh side ended their last match with Pafos at home in a goalless draw. Consequently, their winless streak in the Champions League has extended to six matches (3 draws, 3 losses). Notably, Rafael Urazbakhtin's team has scored only once in this stretch, but they have managed to keep a clean sheet in three games during this period. In the standings, the club is in 34th place, and in terms of goals conceded (9), they are fourth from the bottom.

Inter vs. Kairat: Match Prediction
Kairat had a good opportunity in the last round to earn their first points in the main stage. Rafael Urazbakhtin's team failed to capitalize on this chance, even though their opponent was a team from Cyprus. It is clear that facing Milan will be much more challenging for Kairat, and their main objective will be to avoid a heavy defeat. In their last 7 away Champions League matches, the club has suffered two heavy losses, one of which was back in 2021 at the start of Kairat's journey in this tournament, and the other in the first round of the current Champions League campaign, but it should be noted that the team had a disastrous 3-minute spell.
A loss of points for the Italians in this game would be a surprise. The club has started the group stage excellently, and at home, Inter has won 7 of their last 9 Champions League matches. However, they have scored more than three goals in only one of these matches. Defensively, Milan allows little to their opponents. In 11 of their last 12 Champions League matches, the team has kept a clean sheet. Therefore, even seeing a single goal from the visitors would be a miracle.
My prediction: Inter win and Total under 4.5 goals
