Inter Milan vs Kairat Almaty – Predicted lineup and team news

Inter Milan are set to host Kairat Almaty on matchday four of the UEFA Champions League this Wednesday.

The Nerazzurri will be determined to keep their flawless record intact after winning their opening three games without conceding a goal.

Under manager Cristian Chivu, they have secured commanding victories over Union Saint-Gilloise, Slavia Prague and Ajax to open the campaign strongly.

Remarkably, Inter have emerged victorious in nine of their last ten Champions League league phase matches without letting in a single goal. They also stand out as the only side to have maintained ten clean sheets during the group phase since the beginning of last season.

In Serie A, they have bounced back from defeat to Napoli with wins over Fiorentina and Verona, taking them up to second in the table.

Midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu has been in fine form, netting five goals in his previous eight league games and scoring in three consecutive matches leading up to the Verona clash.

On the injury front, Inter will have Marcus Thuram back in the squad after missing over a month of action due to a hamstring injury sustained late September against Slavia Prague, although the 28-year-old may be eased in from the bench to prevent any setbacks.

Meanwhile, key absentees include Henrikh Mkhitaryan (out until December with a thigh injury), Matteo Darmian (injured), Raffaele Di Gennaro (wrist injury), and Tomas Palacios (thigh injury). This situation has prompted Chivu to explore alternative attacking options, potentially pairing Lautaro Martínez with either Francesco Pio Esposito or Ange-Yoan Bonny.
