FK Kairat Recent Form: Last 5
Key Factors
Arsenal average 1.82 xG recently but are due for a finishing 'explosion' after underperforming xG in draws against Forest and Liverpool.
FK Kairat is currently in their domestic off-season (ended October 2025), leading to significant match-fitness deficits compared to a mid-season Arsenal.
Kairat’s European defensive record is poor, conceding an average of 2.72 goals per match in this UCL campaign with a low 78% passing accuracy under pressure.
Injuries & Absentees
Arsenal faces a defensive 'niggle' crisis with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber ruled out, alongside suspensions for midfield anchors Declan Rice and Mikel Merino. While this weakens the defensive transition, the replacement impact is offensively positive: Eberechi Eze and Christian Norgaard bring more verticality, and the return of Riccardo Calafiori provides elite ball progression from the back. For Kairat, the likely absence of 17-year-old top scorer Dastan Satpayev (thigh injury) removes their only legitimate counter-attacking threat.
