Serie A leaders Roma are currently being held to a goalless draw at half time against bottom club Chievo.
The home side have created all the chances so far, but will be disappointed not to have tested their opponent's goalkeeper more.
Roma started well, forcing a series of early corners, one of which found the head of Kevin Strootman who headed just wide.
Marquinho then had a couple of half-chances, cutting in from the left well but seeing his efforts dealt with by the visitors' defence.
Midway through the half Strootman found space on the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful drive towards goal, forcing Christian Puggioni into a flying save.
The hosts continued to dominate the ball without really clicking in the final third and had to settle for a goalless first half.
