PARIS (AP) — Prolific striker Mika Biereth scored again as Monaco won 2-0 at Angers on Saturday to move into third place in Ligue 1. Biereth controlled Caio Henrique’s pass on his chest and guided the ball home in the 77th minute for his 11th league goal in 11 games since joining from Austrian side Sturm Graz in January.

Regarding past encounters, history favors Monaco, who have consistently outperformed Angers in previous matches. Notably, in their last clash on November 2, 2024, Angers managed a surprise 1-0 victory. However, Monaco holds a favorable overall record, indicating a competitive edge heading into this match.
