Mario Balotelli is on the bench, but despite all the appeals from Juventus, a section of fans have again hurled insults at the Inter striker.
The Bianconeri have already been fined for insulting chants hurled at Balotelli in recent weeks, but a ban was avoided because they were not specifically racist.
That same chant -
'Se saltelli muore Balotelli' (If you jump, Balotelli dies) - was heard at the Olimpico in Turin an hour before kick-off this evening.
There was some tension outside the stadium too, as a group of fans insulted the Inter team bus as it arrived in the arena.
However, these chants were quickly shot down by other supporters and when Balotelli came out to look at the pitch, there were no new insults.
Balotelli stepped out on to the field arm in arm with Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio.
