Next week, as the highly anticipated clash between Serie A rivals looms, Juventus and Inter Milan find themselves separated by only two points in the league standings, despite Inter having played two games less. The Bianconeri manager emphasized that despite the narrow gap and the upcoming encounter, their adversaries will maintain their status as favorites.
Addressing the looming match against Inter Milan, Allegri remarked [as reported by Football Italia]: “The Derby d’Italia is always marvellous to participate in, the stadium will be packed and we will go there trying to get a result against what is I repeat the best team in Italy and the clear favourites to win the Scudetto.”
Had Juventus secured a victory in their recent match against Empoli, they would have assumed the top spot in the league standings. However, the draw means that Inter Milan could reclaim the league lead tonight in their encounter against Fiorentina.
Irrespective of the outcome, both teams will remain closely positioned near the summit of the league table as they prepare to clash at the San Siro on Sunday, February 4th.
