Inter Milan are aiming for their fourth UEFA Champions League win this season as they welcome FC Kairat Almaty to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan on Wednesday night.
The Nerazzurri have been in good form in their Champions League games, winning their last three matches. In Serie A, they have also won four of their last five games, with the most recent being a 2-1 away victory over Hellas Verona.
The Halyq Komandasy, the reigning Kazakhstan Premier League champions, have been looking pretty good in their last five matches. That said, they've also hit a bit of a snag, drawing their last two games, including a 1-1 finish against FC Astana most recently. On the European front, they have failed to win any of their first three games.

Inter Milan preview: Thuram boost for Chivu
Inter head coach Cristian Chivu is likely to rotate his squad again in midweek due to a congested schedule. Key players like Barella, Dimarco, Acerbi and Dumfries, who were rested against Verona, could return, while others may be given a break.
As it stands, only Mkhitaryan and Darmian are sidelined for Inter, while Marcus Thuram may feature after returning from injury and training with the squad.
