Marseille has the most shots on target in this year's Europa League

It's Thursday, which means it's Europa League time. Some crucial matches await as three games are scheduled for this evening, marking the halfway point in the group stage. We've looked at the stats and analyzed which teams have had the most shots on target to see which ones are the most attack minded.

Teams with most shots on target: 
◉ Marseille (16)
◉ Atalanta (15)
◉ Rennes (14)
◉ Liverpool (14) 
◉ Bayer Leverkusen (13) 

Slavia Prague is the team that has scored the most goals (8), and they've only had 10 shots on target. Marseille has scored 5 goals out of their 16 shots, so the goal efficiency could be better for the French powerhouse.

Looking at the teams that have had the most shot attempts in general, Italian side Atalanta, along with Rennes, tops the statistics with 41 attempts. Marseille is in the third position with 39 attempts. It's clear that Marseille has been more attacking since Gattuso's arrival as manager, and it's evident that they aim to take as many shots as possible to regain their structure on the field.

Players with most shots in Europa League: 
◉ Ademola Lookman (10)
◉ Roland Sallai (9)
◉ Ludovic Blas (8)
◉ Azzedine Ounahi (8)

Marseille needs to start scoring more goals to secure some wins in the group. AEK Athens leads the group with 4 points, followed by Marseille and Ajax with 2 points, while Brighton hasn't had the start to their European adventure they had hoped for, with just 1 point.
