Alex Del Piero has reminded the Juventus faithful not to underestimate derby rivals Torino.

Torino are hovering just above the relegation zone and on paper should not pose much of a threat to the Serie A leaders. But Juve were held to a 0-0 draw by the Granata earlier this season and Del Piero believes Sunday's game will also be a tough test. "It is true we are in good form and go into this game much stronger than we were at the last derby. But these derby matches have a logic of their own and are like Cup finals. I know Torino will have some special motivation."
