JUVENTUS missed the chance to go back to the top of the Serie A table as it was held to a 0-0 draw at Parma on Wednesday.
The match was meant to be held on January 31 but was postponed because of snow.
Antonio Conte's side had the better opportunities and could have taken the lead as early as the fourth minute when Giorgio Chiellini saw his header deflected off the post. Juventus also had two decent second-half penalty shouts turned down.
The Bianconeri increased the pressure in the final 10 minutes, but Parma goalkeeper Nicola Pavarini pulled off several good saves to deny Andrea Pirlo and Emanuele Giaccherini.
Juventus, which remains unbeaten all season, is now one point behind Serie A leader AC Milan, but with a game in hand. Parma is back in 12th.
Elsewhere, Atalanta beat Genoa 1-0 with Guido Marilungo scoring the only goal of the game in the 80th minute.
Juventus almost got off to the perfect start when Chiellini connected with Pirlo's freekick but Parma defender Alessandro Lucarelli inadvertently got in the way of his header and it crashed off the post and out for a corner.
Pirlo produced another great chance in the 20th minute when his freekick flew inches wide.
