In early July, Helmond Sport played a pre‑season friendly against Dutch amateur side VV Gemert that ended in a 1‑1 draw. A month later, the Dutch club secured a 1‑0 victory over Belgian side Sint‑Truidense, with Helgi Fróði Ingason scoring the winner. The win was presented as a confidence boost ahead of the Eredivisie season opener. The same report also noted that De Graafschap, a fellow Dutch club set to face Helmond Sport in its first league match, was coping with a thin squad and defensive frailties due to injuries and recent heavy defeats in friendlies.
