Juventus doubled their advantage in the 67th minute when Weston McKennie intercepted a loose pass in midfield and drove forward before sliding the ball to Kenan Yıldız, who calmly placed it past Skorupski from the edge of the box.
Bologna, managed by Vincenzo Italiano, struggled to create clear chances despite dominating possession in spells. Their best opportunity came in the 55th minute when Riccardo Orsolini fired a shot from distance that forced Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio into a save.
The result leaves Juventus on 62 points from 32 matches, three points ahead of both Como and Roma, who each have 59 points. Como drew 1-1 with Lecce earlier on Sunday, even as Roma lost 2-1 to Atalanta on Saturday.
