Juventus have just as much motivation as today’s rivals Napoli to win the Italian Supercoppa final, according to Bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri.

The teams square off at Doha’s Jassim Bin Hamad stadium for the first title of the season.

Napoli are 12 points behind Serie A leaders Juve and the clash in Qatar may be their best opportunity for the Naples outfit to lift some silverware this campaign.

“It’s not true that Napoli are hungrier than we are,” Allegri said.

Juve head into the encounter in Qatar in buoyant mood as the Turin giants are on course to win their fourth straight Scudetto.

Juve had drawn their last three games before winning 3-1 at Cagliari on Thursday and that result coupled with Roma’s goalless draw against Milan on Saturday has ensured the Bianconeri go into the Christmas break with a three-point lead over Roma.

The Turin giants are the only Italian side alive in the Champions League and take on Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of Europe’s elite club competition next year.

However, Allegri insists his team’s only focus is on clinching the club’s seventh Italian Super Cup and their third in a row.

“We achieved our first aim of the season which was to qualify for the knockout round of the Champions League,” Allegri said.

“I’m convinced that we can do well in Europe.

“But now we have in front of us our second objective of the campaign, to lift the Italian Super Cup.

“The Super Cup is an important achievement and we expect a difficult game because Napoli can be a dangerous opponent.”
