Inter Milan legend Beppe Bergomi says Juventus hold an advantage on the Nerazzurri.
The Derby d'Italia is still a fortnight away and Bergomi sees Juve as a genuine title threat.
He told Sky Italia: "There is great balance in the match between Inter and Juventus and I saw it that way from the beginning.
"First because Juventus not having the cups, I am convinced that the cups take away from you.
"But when Juventus had to improve their game, with the cups it would have been more complicated instead so they were able to grow and continue to do so."
