Real Madrid heads into their second group match in the 2025 UEFA Champions League season by traveling to Kairat Almaty, Kazakhstan. The game is scheduled to be played at the Ortalyq Stadion, Almaty, on September 30, 2025. The kickoff is slated for 18:45 CEST / 12:45 PM EST.
Real Madrid enters the match with challenges: their captain Dani Carvajal is sidelined with a calf injury expected to keep him out for about a month. Also, Eder Militao is not traveling with the team due to injury, further weakening the defensive line.
Kairat, meanwhile, begins this campaign with confidence from their home record and local support. They lost 4-1 to Sporting Lisbon in their opener.
Predicted Lineups & Tactical Notes
To manage workload after their recent 5–2 loss to Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid is expected to rotate. Predicted lineup includes Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Huijsen, Fran García; Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Ceballos; Bellingham; Vinícius; and Gonzalo up front.
Kairat’s lineup is likely to include local stalwarts: Kalmurza in goal, Tapalov, Martynovich, Sorokin, and Satpaev among the starters. Their game plan will rely on home turf energy, pressing, and counter-attacks.
Kairat striker Jorginho has signaled no fear: “We can’t be afraid of Real Madrid” in recent comments, expressing belief in his team’s chance to cause an upset.
