PSV main supplier of Eredivisie Team of the Month for April

Noteworthy is the nomination of FC Volendam goalkeeper Mio Backhaus. The 20-year-old goalkeeper was in contention for the talent award for a long time but fell just short in the rankings. Backhaus made a remarkable 30 saves in April (at least nine more than any other goalkeeper), had a save percentage of 80.6%, and according to data, prevented at least 5.2 goals (with 12.2 expected goals conceded and seven goals against), nearly three more than any other goalkeeper.

The Eredivisie Team of the Month for April: Mio Backhaus (FC Volendam), Mauro Júnior (PSV), Dávid Hancko (Feyenoord), Olivier Boscagli (PSV), Jordan Teze (PSV), Malik Tillman (PSV), Joey Veerman (PSV), Mathias Kjølø (FC Twente), Johan Bakayoko (PSV), Sam Lammers (FC Utrecht), and Luuk de Jong (PSV).

The Eredivisie Player of the Month, Johan Cruyff Talent of the Month and Eredivisie Team of the Month are selected on the basis of statistics (Opta) and votes from football fans (KPN Man of the Match). These criteria also play a role in establishing the shortlist for the Eredivisie Player of the Year and Johan Cruyff Talent of the Year awards. These awards, along with the Azerion Vrouwen Eredivisie awards, will be presented during the Eredivisie Awards ceremony (2 September 2024).

The selection of the Eredivisie Player of the Month is an initiative of Eredivisie CV, in partnership with ESPN and EA SPORTS FC™. The selection of the Johan Cruyff Talent of the Month is organised by Eredivisie CV, in partnership with ESPN, the Cruyff Foundation and the VriendenLoterij (FriendsLottery).
