Juve held to goalless draw in derby with Torino

Another disappointing performance left Juve five points above fourth-placed Bologna who continue their bid for a first-ever spot in the Champions League. Italian clubs' good performances in Europe this season means Serie A is almost guaranteed an extra place in next year's revamped version of the continent's top club competition.

That should ensure that Juve will return to the European elite come September. They are 12 points ahead of Atalanta who are sixth with a game in hand and face Verona tonight. However, Massimiliano Allegri's side have won just twice in their last 11 matches and are 19 points behind champions-elect Inter Milan after being title challengers in January.

Juve did not do enough to win their city derby but Dusan Vlahovic should have scored in the sixth minute when he struck the post from point-blank range after great work down the right from Federico Chiesa.
