It’s no exaggeration to say that Mateus Mane has near single handedly breathed life back into Wolves’ season with the 18 year old putting in some stellar performances since he broke into the side, coinciding with the upturn in the Wanderers’ form over recent weeks.

We got our first proper sight of Mane in the Premier League when Rob Edwards gave him his first start against Liverpool at Anfield. Putting an 18 year old in that environment for his first Premier League start shows just how much Rob Edwards trusts the academy product, and he is yet to really let him down.

Mane instantly impressed in that game against Liverpool, managing four shots - two of which found the target. Mane has kicked on from that performance to have 13 shots across his five starts in the Premier League (2.18 per 90), with at least one effort in each of his last five Premier League appearances. 

Mane has scored two goals across these five starts in the Premier League, and his shots against the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle show that he can be a threat for the Wanderers here against a City backline that is still without Gvardiol and Dias - leaving it vulnerable to Wolves’ approaches in transition.

I think it’s worth exploring some other angles for Mane here if you’re looking at a higher price, he’s had eight shots on target from his 13 efforts (1.34 per 90) and nine of these shots have come from outside of the box (69%):

Mateus Mane 1+ shots on target @ 2.62 
Mateus Mane 1+ shots on target outside of the box @ 4.00
Mateus Mane to score or assist @ 4.50

There is excellent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.11 with other major bookmakers.
