Inter vs Kairat prediction, H2H and probable line-ups, November 5, 2025

By Author On Nov 5, 2025

Inter Milan are back at the San Siro for what looks like a straightforward Champions League tie on paper against Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty — but football has a funny way of surprising you. After a mixed start to their European campaign, the Nerazzurri can’t afford to slip up here.

Form Guide

Inter’s form has been a little up and down lately. They’ve been strong in Serie A, but their European performances have lacked that same spark. In their last five games, they’ve grabbed three wins, one draw, and a frustrating defeat that left fans scratching their heads.

Kairat, meanwhile, come into this with nothing to lose. They’ve been impressive in their domestic league, winning four of their last five, and are playing with freedom. While they don’t have the same star power, they’ve shown they can frustrate bigger sides when given the chance.

Head-to-Head Record

This will actually be the first-ever meeting between Inter Milan and Kairat Almaty in any competition. The two teams have never crossed paths before, which adds a bit of intrigue — and maybe a bit of unpredictability — to this one.

Team News

For Inter, Lautaro Martínez is expected to start after being rested over the weekend. Hakan Çalhanoğlu should also return to the lineup, while Nicolò Barella is still being monitored for a minor knock. Sommer will keep his spot in goal, and Marcus Thuram could partner Lautaro up front.

Kairat have no major injury concerns heading into the game. Their star midfielder Artur Shushenachev is expected to play a key role, and goalkeeper Vladislav Noskov will have to be at his absolute best if they’re to stand a chance of getting a result in Italy.

Players to Watch

Match Prediction

Let’s be honest — Inter are heavy favorites here. Kairat will probably sit deep and try to soak up pressure, but the quality gap is big. Still, if the Italian side get too comfortable, a counterpunch from the visitors isn’t impossible.

Prediction: Inter 3–0 Kairat

Betting Tips

Over 2.5 goals looks likely considering Inter’s attacking depth.
A bet on Inter to win both halves could bring decent value.
For those looking for a riskier punt, Lautaro Martínez to score first seems a solid shout.

Final Thoughts

This should be a comfortable night at San Siro for Inter, but stranger things have happened in Europe. Kairat will come in motivated and disciplined, but the Italian giants should still have too much firepower. Expect Inter to dominate possession, create plenty of chances, and walk away with all three points — unless Kairat pull off a miracle.
