Billy Costacurta doesn't expect a classic between Juventus and AC Milan.

The pair are battling for second place behind champions.

AC Milan hero Costacurta said: “Neither of them are in a good moment, but Milan have done badly in the last two weeks, probably their worst in three years, while the previous ones had been good. Juve come from a few more negative weeks.

“For both, however, in my opinion it's wrong to talk about unsuccessful or even negative seasons, even if they have lost a bit of energy in the last period. In the league they did what they could, with different philosophies and ideas.

“Inter were clearly stronger and no one thought they could express a game like this or that they could separate the others so much, but this was a great credit to the Nerazzurri.

“In my opinion, Juve and Milan have had a good run in the league, Milan having had the Champions League and Europa League a little better. Juve could have scored a few more points in the last two months, because before by hook or by crook they remained attached."
