• Venue: Astana Arena

Match Prediction: Kairat 1-3 Real Madrid

Kairat's recent form suggests a team struggling to find the net, with only one win in their last five Champions League matches. Their defensive solidity was evident in the draws against Celtic, but the heavy loss to Sporting CP indicates vulnerabilities against stronger opponents.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, comes into this match with a confidence-boosting win over Olympique Marseille. Their attacking prowess, as demonstrated by the 2-1 victory, could exploit Kairat's defensive frailties, especially if Kairat's forwards fail to capitalise on their limited chances.

The game might see Real Madrid dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities. Kairat will likely rely on counter-attacks and set pieces, hoping to capitalise on any defensive lapses from Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid's recent form and quality in attack suggest they should have enough to secure a victory, though Kairat's resilience could make it a closer contest than expected.

Kairat's recent European performances demonstrate a team capable of frustrating opponents, as evidenced by their two goalless draws against Celtic in qualifying. However, their inability to score consistently, highlighted by the 1-4 loss to Sporting CP, could be a significant concern against Real Madrid's potent attack.

Their home win against Slovan Bratislava (qualifying) offers some hope, but the overall trend suggests they might struggle to keep pace with Real Madrid's offensive capabilities.

• Loss: 1-4 vs Sporting CP (A)

Real Madrid's recent victory over Olympique Marseille demonstrates their ability to perform under pressure. Their attacking line, led by players such as Mbappé and Vini Junior, appears in fine form, which bodes well for their chances against Kairat. 

The absence of Carvajal due to suspension might be a slight concern, but the depth and quality of their squad should allow them to maintain their momentum and secure a win.

• Predicted lineup: Kalmurza, Tapalov, Martynovich, Sorokin, Mata, Kasabulat, Arad, Mrynskiy, Edmilson, Gromyko, Satpayev, 

Kairat's predicted lineup suggests a focus on defensive stability, with Martynovich and Sorokin at the back, aiming to contain Real Madrid's potent attack. The inclusion of Satpayev up front indicates a reliance on quick counter-attacks to exploit any gaps left by Real Madrid's forward push.

• Predicted lineup: Courtois, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras, Mastantuono, Valverde, Bellingham,  García, Güler, Vini Júnior, Mbappé

Real Madrid's predicted lineup showcases their attacking intent, with Mbappé and Vini Júnior leading the charge. The midfield duo of Valverde and Bellingham will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo and providing service to the forwards.

• Kasabulat vs Valverde: This duel will see Kairat's midfielder look to outmanoeuvre Real Madrid's energetic midfielder Valverde.

• Martynovich vs Mbappé: Kairat's defender will need to outwit Real Madrid's star forward Kylian Mbappé if the home team are to have any hope of picking up a result.

• Mrynskiy (Kairat): Mrynskiy's ability to create scoring opportunities from midfield will be vital for Kairat's chances of pulling off an upset.

• Mastantuono (Real Madrid): Mastantuono's role could be decisive, as his movement and finishing might unlock Kairat's defence.
