Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is expecting no less than a tough contest when the two sides meet on Saturday afternoon, saying the confidence of the Turin based side is high. 

"It will be a difficult game. When a team makes the Champions League final, they usually play with tons of confidence." 

Mancini's men need all three points if they are to realistically keep their hopes of European football in 2015 alive. The race for the last Europa league spot is being contested by no less than four teams, Fiorentina, Sampdoria, Genoa and the Nerazzuri.

He explained that this is a "do-or-die" clash, but also reflected on past missed opportunities which could have secured a European spot with three games to go in the season. 

"It’s our last opportunity in a do-or-die match. Fiorentina, Torino, Udinese, Parma, Cesena, Sampdoria - many games where we could have done something better."

"I don't know what team they are going to show up with, but the players who have played less will be more rested and will also want to show that they fully deserve a place in Juve's team."

Allegri has confirmed that the Bianconeri will be without Buffon, Vidal, Pirlo, Tevez and Evra, who will all be rested for their upcoming Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night.

"Now that I've got everyone bar (Martin) Caceres available, there'll be the chance for the guys who haven't played as much to have a run-out, especially those who were out for a long while."

However with all the omissions for Juventus, Allegri are still very much aware of the enormity of the match and what is on the line for Inter. 

"It's still Juventus against Inter and they're in the hunt for a Europa League place. We have to go to the San Siro and put in a great performance technically and in terms of our intensity. You always need to play well when you go there."

Mauro Icardi will be looking to add to his current total of 19 goals for this season, which would see him overtake the current leader Tevez on 20 goals.
