Juventus will be up against the newly-second-placed Biancocelesti, who are enjoying a sensational run of form.

Allegri, in his Press conference before the game, said much of the season hinges on tomorrow's performance.

“Of course there is much at stake, since we are first and they are second,” he said.

Allegri, in his Press conference before the game, said much of the season hinges on tomorrow's performance.

“Of course there is much at stake, since we are first and they are second,” he said.

“Besides, they are having an extraordinary season, because nobody could have guessed from the way they opened it that they could be in second place at this point.

“They emerge from eight consecutive victories, they have conceded – in the second half of the championship – the same number of goals that we did, so tomorrow's game is worth the Scudetto.

“It's true that we lead by a few points, but we're also going up against a sequence of difficult and important games.

“I think the season will be decided from now until the game against Sampdoria [in Week 34], because we'll be playing for Serie A, as well as for the Champions League in the midweek.

“We weren't sloppy in Parma, we just played a poor second half, when we conceded the goal. But our game was good in the first half, we had three-four chances to take the lead and we didn't exploit them.

“The game on Wednesday [against Monaco] will be the logical consequence of the game tomorrow night. Fortunately all of my players are available so I can make the best decisions, especially tomorrow night and in the Champions League.

“Against Parma, by contrast, we didn't have all of our players.”
