Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri expecting tough Monaco clash

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri believes that his side will be given a tough test away to Monaco for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has warned his players to expect a tough second leg against Monaco in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Italian champions travel to the Stade Louis II on Wednesday having earned a narrow 1-0 win in Turin last week.

Despite admitting that he is confident of seeing his side progress, Allegri concedes that it will probably be a difficult encounter.

"The clean sheet at home gives us a slight advantage, even though it won't be straightforward," he told the club's official website. "We now know our opposition: they're very well organised in defence and possess technique and physicality in forward areas.

"I'm optimistic, even though we know we'll have to put in a good performance and score to reach the next round. They're a complicated side to play against. Monaco don't give you an inch out there."

Juventus are currently romping away with the Serie A title thanks to a 15-point lead at the top of the table.
