Massimiliano Allegri says it is "strange" to see Borussia Dortmund struggling in the Bundesliga and does not expect an easy encounter for Juventus in the Champions League this month.

Jurgen Klopp's men have been languishing in the German top flight but back-to-back wins have offered some reprieve, lifting them temporarily out of the bottom three.

Contrastingly, Juventus have looked dominant in Serie A once again this term and have opened up a seven-point gap ahead of second-placed Roma.

Despite the disparity in league form, Allegri suggests it will be an even match-up on February 24 as Juventus continue the hunt for a treble in 2014-15.

"Dortmund have some excellent players and it’s strange to see them at the bottom of the Bundesliga," he told reporters in a press conference ahead of Sunday's Serie A clash with Cesena.

"When we play against them, the Germans will have their best squad available, as will we. We've got the opportunity to qualify and put in two great performances.
