Aiming to continue their long dominance of the Derby della Mole, Serie A giants Juventus tackle city rivals Torino on Saturday evening.
In all competitions, Juve are undefeated in their last 18 Turin derbies, winning 14, and they head into this week's clash five points clear of the Granata in the Serie A standings.
A week after beating early-season surprise package Lecce 1-0, the Bianconeri were indebted to a superb Wojciech Szczesny save for preserving a point in Bergamo, where their makeshift strikeforce failed to gel and barely made an imprint on La Dea's defence.
Injuries to Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik meant Italian duo Federico Chiesa and Moise Kean were paired up front, but even if Juve continue to falter in the final third, they can still rely on an impressive defensive record.
Having kept seven clean sheets in their last 12 league matches stretching back to last season, Juventus are joint-top of the shut-out standings since Max Allegri's return to the club in August 2021: 37 is a total equalled only by Napoli.
