Toro are preparing to make the short trip to Juve, and Izzo told Sky Sport Italia that the Granata were out to beat their city rivals, with Champions League qualification firmly in their sights.
“It’s always nice to play a derby, even more so now because we come into it near the top of the table. We mustn’t be afraid, we need the points,” he said.
“We can’t be overawed by Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of their forwards. If we want to do something special, we will have to put them out of our minds.
“Juve are strong, they have a team full of champions and are the best team in Italy, but we have to face our fears. We are confident, and we will be fired up.”
The 27-year-old has formed part of a backline that has conceded just one goal in its last four games.
