Thiago Motta has recognized Sunday's collision with reigning Serie A Champions Inter in the Allianz Stadium is the most important company of the Juventus season.
Leaders Napoli and second placed inter are separated by just one point at the top of the competition lag after 24 games, while Juve is in fifth place.
The Bianconeri have a winning series of three games in all competitions, so that the pressure that had been produced on Motta relaxed.
Juve's last encounter with their Derby d'Italia rivals resulted in a 4-4 draw in San Siro in October, and Motta expects another classic when the Nerazzurri comes to Turin.
“We are looking for the victory for everything. This is our task and we want to win the victory. But we have to earn it and put all our strengths to compete against a big opponent,” Motta said.
“Tomorrow is a very important game, perhaps the most important in our championship. We have to be a team for the entire game.
“This is a very important game where we all feel the pressure. We have to concentrate at 200%… We have a good group that always wants to improve.”
Juve, who has already signed 13 league matches this season, is determined to keep their positive momentum after Tuesday's 2-1 victory over PSV in the first stage of their play-off tie-off of their Champions League.
“I hope there will be continuity for a long time. We have to improve that. We have had three victories in different ways. The goal is to do our best to win the game,” Motta added.

While Juve will be Milik without defenders Bremer, Pierre Kalulu and Juan Cabal and Spits Arkadiusz, they are stimulated by the return of left-back Andrea Cambiasso, which is available after repairing an ankle problem.
“The team is fine and winning is always good. I saw the boys very well,” said Motta.
“Tomorrow there will be no Kalulu, Bremer, Milik, Cabal, instead we will restore Cambiasso. (Lloyd) Kelly is fine.”
