Juve has won only one of their previous six league games, dropping to third in Serie A. They are four points ahead of fourth-placed Bologna, who also drew 0-0 at home against Monza. The Bianconeri have had an amazing record in the derby, having not lost to Torino in nine years. Saturday's hosts last achieved a draw more than two years ago. Juventus had a fantastic opportunity to grab the lead in the seventh minute when Federico Chiesa whipped in a cross from the right to an open Dusan Vlahovic, but his shot hit the left upright.
Bologna, hoping to qualify for the Champions League for the first time, were left uncomfortably looking over their shoulders following a second consecutive goalless draw. The draw with Monza left fourth-place Bologna only four points ahead of Roma, who face relegation-threatened Udinese on Sunday.
