In games against the teams currently occupying the top 10 positions in the League, Milan have netted 19 points to Juventus' 23.

However, in matches against sides placed 11th-20th in the standings, Milan have grabbed 36 points and Juve just 18.

"Between the highs and lows, Juventus are picking up very little," said Cabrini, a former Juventus and Italy left-back.

"The fact that they struggle against the 'provincial' sides is something that they have to reflect on," he added.

"The seven point gap between them and Lazio is a big one and Juventus' remaining fixtures are not the simplest."
