In an encounter devoid of clear-cut chances, Daniele De Rossi's side defended astutely to claim a second point of the campaign after defeat to Empoli last week.

Dusan Vlahovic was presented with the clearest sight of goal, but the Serbia striker saw his effort thwarted by the palms of Mile Svilar.

The fixture in Turin saw just one shot from either side on target, with Juventus's expected goals (xG) total of 0.47 only slightly bettering their opponents' 0.37.

Heading into the international break, Juventus sits second in the early-season standings behind Inter Milan, while Roma has moved out of the bottom three into 17th.

Juventus's Vlahovic and Roma's Alexis Saelemaekers were the two credited with the encounters only efforts on target in a game that failed to live up to the billing.

But there were positives for Motta to take, with Juventus remaining unbeaten in its first three Serie A games of the season for the third year in a row, while also registering a fourth consecutive league clean sheet, as many as it had managed in its previous 16 matches.

Roma has failed to win any of its first three Serie A games of the season for the second season in a row.

Only once have the Giallorossi failed to win their first three games in two consecutive years (2010-2011 and 2011-2012).

They have also scored just one goal in their first three games of the season, their worst result since 1986-1987.
