Inter vs. Kairat: Match Prediction
The Kazakhstani team had a good chance to earn their first points in the main stage last round. Rafael Urazbakhtin's men failed to capitalize on this opportunity, even though they faced a team from Cyprus. It is clear that facing Inter in Milan will be much more challenging, and the main task for the visitors will be to avoid a heavy defeat. In their last 7 away Champions League matches, the club has suffered two heavy defeats, but one of these was back in 2021, at the beginning of Kairat's participation in this tournament, and the other was in the first round of the current Champions League campaign, when the team had a disastrous three-minute spell.
A point loss by the Italians in this game would be a sensation. The club started the group stage excellently, and at home, Inter has won 7 of their last 9 Champions League matches. During this period, the club has scored more than three goals in only one game. At their own goal, the Milanese allow very little. In 11 of their last 12 Champions League group stage matches, the team has kept a clean sheet. Therefore, seeing even one goal from the visitors would be a miracle.
My prediction: Inter to win and Total under 4.5 goals
