Inter
Christian Chivu's side delivered an impressive away performance in their last match, thrashing Union 4-0. The Italian team has been flawless in this season's Champions League, boasting three victories and no goals conceded. They share the lead for clean sheets with Arsenal. Notably, before the main stage, the club had conceded in six consecutive games in this tournament. Additionally, their attacking prowess is noteworthy, as Inter has scored at least twice in 10 of their last 11 Champions League matches. In the overall standings, the Italians are in 3rd place.

Kairat
In their last match, the Kazakh team played to a goalless draw at home against Pafos. As a result, Kairat's winless streak in the Champions League has extended to six matches (3 draws, 3 losses). It's worth noting that Rafael Urazbakhtin's side managed to score in only one of these games. However, they have kept their opponents at bay in three matches during this period.

Inter vs. Kairat: Match Prediction
The Kazakh team had a good chance to earn their first points in the main stage last round. Rafael Urazbakhtin's side failed to capitalize on this opportunity, even though they faced a Cypriot opponent. It's clear that facing Inter in Milan will be much tougher 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, but one was back in 2021, at the dawn 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 3-minute spell.
A loss of points by the Italians in this game would be a major surprise. The club has started the group stage excellently, and at home, Inter has won 7 of their last 9 Champions League matches. During this period, they have scored more than three goals in only one match. At their end, Inter allows very little, having kept clean sheets in 11 of their last 12 overall Champions League matches. Therefore, seeing even one goal from the visitors would be a miracle.
My prediction: Inter win and Total under 4.5 goals
