“Inter Milan are the favourites for the title,” he said at Thursday’s press conference ahead of Juve’s visit to Genoa.
Two things for Inter: a win would leave them more sensible for at least 48 hours before Inter’s potentially complicated holiday against Lazio on Sunday.
“We don’t have an effects target for the end of the first part (of the season). It’s useless,” Allegri said.
“We are focusing on our objective for the season which is qualification for the Champions League.
“We have to keep our feet on the ground, play one game at a time and deal with the negative moments that are likely to present themselves in the most productive way possible. “
Despite his team’s current form, Allegri, as he has done all season, has hijacked the name of communication against rivals Milan.
“We know that Inter are the favourites for the title, the team was built to win their second star (for their 20th league title),” he insisted.
Juventus is the most successful team in the history of Italy with 3 stars to their name, their name number 36 and the most recent one coming in 2020.
Allegri will be bolstered by the presence of French international Adrien Rabiot, who is doubtful with an injury at the start of the week after suffering a knock last weekend in the 1-0 win at Naples.
Meanwhile, Moise Kean has a tibia injury and will be out for a month.
