Paulo Dybala and Blaise Matuidi scored early as Juventus extended their perfect start to their Serie A title defence to six games with a 2-0 win over Bologna, as Roma ended their losing streak with a 4-0 success over promoted Frosinone.
The reigning champions have a maximum 18 points, three ahead of Napoli who beat Parma 3-0, with the top two set to go head-to-head in Turin on Saturday.
"We made some mistakes at the end of the match and we were sometimes vulnerable," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
"On Saturday it's a head-to-head with Napoli and it'll certainly be a great game. I don't have a line-up in my head right now, as on Friday in training we'll see everyone together and decide."
