Thiago Motta has acknowledged Sunday's clash with reigning Serie A champions Inter at the Allianz Stadium is the most important fixture of Juventus' season.

Leaders Napoli and second-placed Inter are separated by just one point at the top of the league standings after 24 matches, while Juve are in fifth.

The Bianconeri are on a three-match winning streak in all competitions, easing the pressure that had started to build on Motta.

Juve's last meeting with their Derby d'Italia rivals resulted in a 4-4 draw at San Siro in October, and Motta expects another classic when the Nerazzurri come to Turin.

"We seek victory for everything. This is our job and we want to achieve victory. But we have to deserve it and put all our strengths to compete against a great opponent," Motta said.

"Tomorrow is a very important game, perhaps the most important in our championship. We have to be a team for the whole game.

"This is a very important game where we all feel the pressure. We have to concentrate 200%... We have a good group that always wants to improve."

Juve, who have drawn 13 league games already this season, are determined to maintain their positive momentum following Tuesday's 2-1 win over PSV in the first leg of their Champions League knockout-stage play-off tie.

"I hope there will be continuity for a long time. We have to improve on that. We got three victories in different ways. The objective is to do our best to win the game," Motta added.

While Juve will be without defenders Bremer, Pierre Kalulu and Juan Cabal as well as striker Arkadiusz Milik, they have been boosted by the return of left-back Andrea Cambiaso, who is available after recovering from an ankle problem.

"The team is fine and winning is always good. I saw the lads very well," Motta said. 

"Tomorrow there will be no Kalulu, Bremer, Milik, Cabal, instead we will recover Cambiaso. (Lloyd) Kelly is fine."
