Inzaghi’s men are preparing to face the reigning champions, who are pushing to keep up with Inter at the top of Serie A.

Benevento are fighting at the other end of the table and Inzaghi hopes to see his men ‘rediscover’ their previous form.

“Against Juventus we must play like we did until a month ago,” Inzaghi said at a press conference. “The real Benevento is that of the 26 previous games.

“We must rediscover our character. We face one of the best teams in Europe and it seems almost superfluous to point it out.

“I saw the lads work in the best way and this makes me confident. Even in the first leg, we were theoretically beaten.”

Benevento sit four points above relegation after a run of 11 games without a win but Inzaghi doesn’t feel there’s a crisis at the Stadio Vigorito.

“You know well that I disagree with this analysis,” he said. “I would limit it to the last two to three games.

“At the start of the second round we did well against Torino, Bologna and Sampdoria. Maybe we went beyond our potential in the first part and now we have to get back up.

“We have been pulling the cart for moths, the break comes at the right time to recover everyone.

“There will be two fundamental home games with a lot at stake, I would like to have the full squad available.

“We are missing 12 to 13 points to celebrate our Scudetto.”

Inzaghi said the Streghe can’t focus on the quality of the Juventus players but focused on instilling his men with the right ‘attitude’.

“If I want to focus on Cristiano Ronaldo and all the champions at Juventus, it will become difficult,” Inzaghi added. “I’m interested in seeing the performance and attitude.

“Looking back, we remember that we drew with Lazio and Juventus in the first round, and then we stopped Roma without conceding a goal with 10 against 11."
