Fresh Europa League Corners Data: 35 Teams Updated

Excitement is building for the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League Round of 16, and SetPieceTakers.com has just dropped fresh corners data covering 35 teams from the recently completed matchdays.

With first legs kicking off on Thursday—including Bologna vs Roma, Panathinaikos vs Real Betis, and more—this timely update highlights set-piece struggles among key players. Take Nikola Moro of Bologna: he's taken 26 corners this season but scored 0 goals from them, missing all at a stark 0% conversion rate. His side faces a derby test against Roma, where dead-ball delivery could make or break the tie.

Similarly, Tasos Bakasetas (Panathinaikos) has whipped in 19 corners with 0 scored and 19 missed—another 0% rate. The Greek side, who edged past Viktoria Plzeň on penalties in the play-offs, host Real Betis and desperately need Bakasetas to turn promise into points from these attacks.

Not far behind is Kiril Despodov (PAOK), though now out after Celta Vigo's aggregate win, with 15 corners taken, 0 scored, and a matching 0% conversion. These stats expose a broader trend: elite takers firing blanks when it matters most in Europe.

As tactical battles intensify—higher seeds hosting second legs—coaches will pore over this data. Can these players unlock defenses before the quarters? Watch this space as Round of 16 unfolds.
