Inter Milan hosts Kairat Almaty in the Champions League match, seeking to extend their perfect start to the season.
Inter Milan are set to welcome Kairat Almaty to San Siro on Wednesday, aiming to prolong their perfect start to the season’s Champions League campaign.
The Italian giants have been in impressive form, winning nine of their last 10 matches, while Kairat has struggled to replicate their domestic success in Europe.
Inter Milan’s recent form has been stellar, with three wins from three in the Champions League, scoring nine goals without conceding. They have kept a trio of clean sheets, taking their shut-out tally to 11 from their last 12 group or league-phase games.
Lautaro Martinez leads the attack, and the team has scored at least twice in 10 of their last 11 Champions League outings.
Kairat, on the other hand, has been struggling, with only one point from their first three Champions League games. They have never won a single game at Europe’s top level and are without a win in six Champions League games, including qualifiers. Their recent 1-1 draw against Pafos was a rare positive, but they face a tough challenge against Inter Milan.
Inter Milan’s home record in the Champions League is impressive, with 14 wins from 17 games. Kairat’s task is daunting, given Inter’s strong squad and attacking firepower. Cristian Chivu’s side has recovered from recent setbacks in Serie A and is looking to extend their remarkable European record.
Kairat’s squad is missing key players, including Joao Paulo and Elder Santana, while Edmilson is a minor doubt. Dastan Satpaev is set to lead the attack, supported by Jorginho. Inter Milan are missing Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Matteo Darmian.
The match looks like a one-sided affair, with Inter Milan overwhelming favorites to win.
