AC Milan midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura has claimed that Sunday's meeting with Juventus will not be decisive in the race for Champions League qualification.
Despite a frustrating start to the season, Juventus can move above sixth-placed Milan with a win on Sunday as the champions look to get back on track.
However, Bonaventura believes that the two sides are likely to be close throughout the campaign.
"There is still a long way to go and lots of points up for grabs. It's not a must-win match," Bonaventura told reporters.
"However, a side like ours that aims to finish in the leading positions cannot slip-up in these type of matches. We will try and prepare as best as possible."
Milan are unbeaten in their last four matches.
