Juventus is sixth in Serie A and assured of a place in the UEFA Europa League at the very least for next season, but it still has a chance to qualify for UEFA's flagship competition.

To qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Juventus must win at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, while also relying on favours from others.

Juventus needs Como not to win away to lowly Cremonese, and either AC Milan or Roma to lose their matches against Cagliari and Hellas Verona respectively.

It can still qualify if Cesc Fabregas's Como side fails to win and both Milan and Roma draw, or if both the latter lose, regardless of Como's result at Stadio Giovanni Zini.

Juventus's hopes were dented after a shock defeat to Fiorentina last time out, and Spalletti urged his players to provide a response as they aim to finish the season on a high.

"I expect a performance that is worthy of Juventus, of the importance of this game, and a reaction from the team," Spalletti said.

"It is fair to say we have not been as dominant as we were, the regrets are not around failing to win games when creating many chances, they are around not being ourselves.

"I take my share of the responsibility. I've always been convinced that I spoke to the players as men, treating them like men.

"I feel that motivating the hearts and minds of men makes them step above their capabilities.

"If I go into an important game and the team plays like that, clearly the first person I look to blame is myself. Then I try to draw other conclusions about issues of character.

"It's all about character. We were disappointed, but not irritable this week, so we analysed everything.

"I read reports that the locker room is split, but things cannot change so dramatically because of one game."

The derby between Torino and Juventus will be played on the final matchday of a Serie A season for the first time in history, and with it comes great jeopardy.

Juventus could also end a top-flight season with fewer than 70 points for the first time since 2010-2011 when it finished with 58 points, with reports suggesting Spalletti could resign if UEFA Champions League football is not secured.

However, the 67-year-old pushed back those claims ahead of kick-off, saying that leaving the club had not crossed his mind.

"It never crossed my mind," he said. "First there was all the talk about the new contract, then immediately after that they turned to resignations. You just throw every possible adjective at me.

"If anything crossed my mind after a result like that, it was putting myself at the disposal of the club should it want to make a change, but I never asked to speak with anyone.

"Don't expect changes, because there won't be any. I am honest that I'm disappointed when the team doesn't do what I'd like, but I have every intention of continuing with the club. I have faith in the club and the club has faith in me.

"We are disappointed at not winning games, but also motivated to create a quality team that can make its fans feel protected and proud."
