Keeps clean sheet in victory Schwolow made three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win over Schalke.

Impact Schwolow made three saves while keeping a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win at Schalke, helping Mainz secure their third consecutive away victory in the Bundesliga. He was relatively untroubled during the first half but made a crucial reaction save to deny Satoshi Tanaka from close range in the 75th minute before stopping another header late in the match. Schwolow's interventions helped Mainz protect Phillip Tietz's first-half opener and secure all three points despite Schalke increasing the pressure during the closing stages. Schwolow will look to build on that performance in Saturday's clash against Bremen.

Allows four goals to Bayer Schwolow recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Schwolow picked up an injury in a friendly a few days ago but has already recovered from those issues, as he was back on the field for 45 minutes Saturday.

Schwolow made 23 appearances (22 starts) for an awful Schalke side in 2022-23, keeping just two clean sheets. It would take an impressive pre-season for Schwolow to truly make this a competition for the starting job against Frederik Ronnow.

Impact Schwolow has eight saves across both of his last two starts. However, he conceded more than three goals during both games started.
