Inter vs Kairat Almaty Prediction & Betting Tips (5 November)

Inter has been shining on the continental scene in recent seasons, as evidenced by their lost Champions League finals in 2023 and last year. The Lombard team hopes to once again achieve a good performance in this 2025/2026 edition. Now under the leadership of Christian Chivu, the Nerazzurri have launched their campaign perfectly. Indeed, they have still not conceded a single goal and have in turn taken over Ajax 0-2, Slavia Prague 3-0 and Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4. On the national scene, Inter today occupies 3rd place in Serie A, 3 points behind 1st place. After stringing together four victories, Lautaro Martinez's teammates were stopped at leader Napoli 3-1. Subsequently, they reacted by dominating Fiorentina 3-0 before moving to Hellas Verona last weekend.

Kairat Almaty is one of the small thumbs of the competition and this has been true so far. Indeed, the Kazakhs largely lost their first two Champions League matches played against Sporting 4-1 and Real Madrid 0-5. On the last day, they took advantage of hosting a more affordable opponent, Pafos, to pocket their first point 0-0. In its championship which ended 10 days ago, Kairat has just won the title. The Almaty-based club secured its coronation on the last day thanks to a draw preserved against its runner-up Astana 1-1. 

For this meeting, Inter must do without the important striker Marcus Thuram (3 goals in SA, 2 goals in C1) and the potentially starting midfielder Mkhitaryan. We also find replacements Di Gennaro (goalkeeper) and Darmian (defender) in the infirmary. Scorer in the last Champions League match, Turkish midfielder Calhanoglu (5 goals in SA, 1 goal and 2 assists in C1) is in very good form at the start of the season. On the attacking front, we should find captain Lautaro Martinez (3 goals and 2 assists in SA, 3 goals in C1) unless the young Bonny (3 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Esposito (1 goal in SA, 1 goal in C1) form the offensive duo. Faced with an affordable opponent, Christian Chivu could be tempted to field a reshuffled team.

Kairat Almaty is deprived of long-time absent attackers Santana and Joao Paulo, insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. On the other hand, unavailable during the last Champions League match, Brazilian striker Edmilson Santos (4 goals in 8 league matches, 1 goal in C1) has since returned to the field. He should still start on the bench since the Kazakh Satpaev (14 goals and 6 assists in the league) performs with, in support, the Portuguese playmaker Jorginho (10 goals and 7 assists in the league). Belarusian winger Gromyko (4 goals and 6 assists in the league) is also available. 

• Summary: Inter U19 is going head to head with Kairat Almaty U19 starting on 5 Nov 2025 at 15:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
