Juventus manager Antonio Conte claimed officials are too scared to give his side penalties after his side were denied two spot kicks against Parma in midweek.
But speaking ahead of his side's clash with the Turin giants, Montella does not believe Juve are being targeted.
"I think we can easily say that in general referees have been doing a great job this season," Montella told reporters.
"Obviously I don't think there's a plot against Juventus, otherwise they would have given the first penalty against Giovinco in their last match."
"That's my opinion, then, of course referees are making some mistakes, as they did in the past and will do in the future."
Montella is confident Catania have the mettle to match Juventus away on Saturday, but concedes they can only hand them a first league defeat of the season if Conte's side are below their best.
"The facts say Juventus are having an extraordinary season, beyond all expectation, and the manager and the club should be credited for this," Montella said.
"They're on the top of the table and they deserve that position, they will be looking to continue that season against Catania."
"We will be there to play, trying to do our best and trying to win the match. It can happen only if we play an extraordinary match and hope Juventus will play below their normal standard."
