"The Nerazzurri are the best team in the league, but Juventus Motta’s Juventus are doing big things,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Thiago has done an enormous job. It’s a derby and anything can happen. As an Interista, I think we’ll win as we play at home. Juventus will need more time, but they’ll fly if they win.”
Melo also had a word of support for Douglas Luiz over his issues at Juventus, stating: "He did extraordinary things under my friend Unai Emery (Aston Villa manager), but Serie A is different from the Premier League.
“Douglas had more space (in England) and he’ll become a joy for Juventus when he understands Italian football more.”
