Inter Milan will take on Champions League debutants Kairat Almaty in a must-win home game later tonight.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, victory would all but guarantee Inter’s knockout progression.
Despite Inter’s mixed results in Serie A this season, they have been outstanding on the European front.
Indeed, Cristian Chivu has won his first three Champions League games in charge of the club.
Furthermore, Inter returned a superb +9 goal difference from those triumphs, winning each game via a multi-goal margin.
Inter Milan Must Take 3 Points vs Kairat Almaty
Despite a formidable start, Inter cannot afford to get complacent.
With high-profile matches against Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, and Atletico Madrid coming next, this clash has all the makings of a ‘must-win’ affair.
Indeed, with 12 points, Inter would all but secure a place in the knockout stages.
Moreover, it would take them a step closer toward locking down direct last-16 qualification, a feat they achieved last season under Simone Inzaghi.
Yet to concede a goal in this season’s league phase, Inter head into proceedings as overwhelming favorites to maintain their perfect run in the competition.
