Massimiliano Allegri: 'Low expectations have helped Fiorentina'

Massimiliano Allegri says that Fiorentina's low expectations before the start of the season have helped them achieve their current lofty position in Serie A.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has said that low expectations have helped Fiorentina achieve their high-flying form and their second-place position in the Serie A table.

Juve have recovered from their poor start to the season, winning their last five games to put them fifth in Serie A and five points behind Fiorentina.

However, Allegri believes that Paulo Sousa's team's title-challenging form is down to no pressure and low expectations before the beginning of the season, as they sit one point behind league leaders Inter Milan.

"Nobody expected the Viola to be where they are, but they're fully worthy of their current position," Allegri said in a media conference.

"Fiorentina is an important game for us. They play good football and are doing very well at the moment.

"They have performed well at home and away this season and possess plenty of skilful players. They can also play without the pressure of title expectations. It will be a tough one."

The Bianconeri can close the gap on Fiorentina to just two points when the two sides face off at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday evening.
