Melo: No margin for error
Juventus defender Felipe Melo believes his team need to have a flawless game on Saturday if they want to upset Serie A leaders AC Milan.
Last weekend's 2-0 defeat to Bologna dropped them to seventh in the standings, seven points behind fourth-placed Lazio.
Milan won their third straight game on Monday in a 3-0 triumph over Napoli, a result that lifted the Rossoneri five points clear of second-placed Inter Milan with 11 rounds remaining.
"There is no margin for error," said Melo on the club's official website.
"Milan have a very strong side and if you make mistakes, they will kill you.
"We will have to play as we did in our opening game against them, with concentration at the highest."
