The Turin giants are undefeated this season in 20 games and currently sit on top of Serie A, a point ahead of reigning champions AC Milan.

With betting experts installing Juventus as frontrunners for the Italian top flight for the first time since the Calciopoli scandal, Conte has moved to keep expectations in check.

"I have to thank the media; they're starting to see Juventus as favourites for the title," he told TMW.

"We have done an extraordinary job this season and things are evolving. However, I still consider Milan as the favourites for the Scudetto."

Juventus take on Siena at home on Sunday and the 42-year-old is expecting a difficult game, especially given the snow and adverse weather conditions in Italy.

"We know that we live in Europe, where it is normal for it to snow. What is lacking are the appropriate structures," Conte said.

"We will have the problem of having to play three matches in six days because of postponements of games."

"You have to prepare. Luckily we have our stadium, which has a heated ground. We can guarantee a game despite the weather."
