Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri admits their clash with AC Milan will be decisive.

The two teams meet later today.

Allegri said, “Right now what we have to think of, as Juventus, is that tomorrow we have the opportunity to reach and overtake Milan.

“Juve-Milan is always one of the most important games in Serie A and our objective is to climb another spot in the standings. Tomorrow we have that opportunity.

“Then we'll be aiming to reach the next step in the Champions League, and then the Coppa Italia.

“What matters is making results consecutive. We won two games in a row, we hadn't done that yet this year.

“Tomorrow's game won't be easy, on the contrary. Milan are emerging from three wins and two draws, they're on a good path even though we're both very distant from the top of the standings."
