Chievo Verona forward Sergio Pellissier knows that Juventus are a clearly superior team, but has not stopped him from aiming for a dream result as they continue their relegation battle.

Avoiding defeat here would extend the the Flying Donkeys' positive run and further boost their chances of avoiding relegation to Serie B.

"We know that it won't be easy because they are better than us," admitted the Chievo captain to Radio Kiss Kiss.

"However, in football anything can happen and we shall see what will happen. We believe in the survival, despite knowing that on our path we must face stronger teams.

"Every year there is a new challenge: that of managing to achieve another feat. This year, according to everyone, we had no chance, but instead we are there fighting and we want to save ourselves at all cost."

Chievo's good form has boosted them up to 16th place in the standings, six points ahead of the relegation zone.
