Juventus have one of their toughest games of the season coming up against Monaco in the Champions League but coach Massimiliano Allegri wants his players to focus on Parma.
Tuesday's 3-0 win at Fiorentina booked Juve's place in the Coppa Italia final, ensuring they continue fighting for silverware on three fronts.
But even though his side have a 14-point lead over Roma at the top of Serie A, with the title looking like a formality, Allegri is determined to stop his players focussing on the cup competitions.
"We must maintain our balance and concentration, " Allegri said to the Italian press. "Otherwise, we risk falling.
"We have an opportunity to turn a great season into an exceptional one.
"We are on course for the club's fourth straight scudetto, we are in the Coppa Italia final and we are alive in a very difficult competition as the Champions League is.
"Our focus right now is on taking three points at Parma and after that we will prepare for Tuesday's (home) quarter-final match against Monaco."
The Turin giants travel to the Ennio Tardini stadium riding a four-game winning streak in Serie A.
Juve, who have the best attack and defence in the competition, have kept a clean sheet in their last four league games.
But Parma midfielder Francesco Lodi has warned Juve to expect a battle this weekend.
The Ducale club clinched their just fourth win of the season and first since January 6 in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Udinese.
The bankrupt club went into administration last month and has an uncertain future.
"We are taking on the strongest team in Serie A," Lodi said. "They have almost won the scudetto but they should know that they will face a Parma side that is determined to prove its worth.
"We have two important months ahead of us for our future and for that of Parma's in view of possible future buyers.
"We will give our all against Juve because nothing is impossible."
Parma, coached by Roberto Donadoni, lie at the foot of the standings, 13 points from safety with 30 points still up for grabs.
The hosts are without captain Alessandro Lucarelli, who is suspended.
