Napoli's match against Inter will not determine Juventus' main rival, says Pandev

Napoli forward Goran Pandev does not think that his side's match against Inter Milan this weekend will reveal the strongest league rival to Juventus this season.

The Serie A title holder currently tops the league with a two-point lead over the Partenopei, while the Nerazzurri sit third, four points behind the table-toppers. Pandev has played down the importance of the upcoming fixture, though, reminding that there are still a lot of matches to be played this term.

"It will be a very interesting game," the Macedonia international told reporters. "I honestly don't think, however, that it will serve to see which side will be the anti-Juventus. The championship is still very long. We'll just look to give our best and then we'll see where we end up."

Juventus will have a chance to gain points on either side this weekend with its away match to Palermo.
