The Kazak side were beaten 4-1 by Sporting in their opening League Phase contest and had Brazilian Edmilson to thank for grabbing what turned out to be just a consolation goal in their defeat in Portugal. Real Madrid needed the penalty heroics of Kylian Mbappe to save them against Marseille in their European opener for 2025/26, with the French striker scoring twice from the spot to earn a 2-1 win against the Ligue 1 side. Xabi Alonso's side will have to be much better to beat Rafael Urazbakhtin and his merry men, with just 23, 000 expected to be in attendance for the contest.

They then prevailed on penalties in the final round of qualifying against Scottish champions Celtic to book their spot in the League Phase of the competition. The Kazakhstan Premier League champions were battered 4-1, as mentioned previously, by Sporting Lisbon in their first game of the campaign and have an even tougher test approaching on Tuesday. This fixture represents only the second Champions League clash between teams from Kazakhstan and Spain since Astana faced Atletico Madrid in the 2015-16 group stage.

However, Alonso's men come into this game after slumping to a surprise 5-2 loss against their bitter rivals, Atletico Madrid, despite leading 2-1 in that game. Los Blancos will attempt to use the weekend's disappointment as fuel for their maiden encounter with Kairat, although quite an atmosphere is expected to meet them. Dani Carvajal looks to have joined current absentees Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy on the sidelines at present, with Eder Militao also not travelling with the squad. Kairat 0-4 Real Madrid Real will surely have too much attacking quality for Kairat to deal with and Jude Bellingham could shine as he bids to regain some of his consistency following a lengthy lay-off from injury.
