Despite scoring three goals in 14 minutes against Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth's impressive second half showing at Hillsborough was only enough for a point, with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's late strike rescuing a 3-3 draw. But their performance against the Owls should give Pompey reason for optimism heading into their first Fratton Park fixture. Lincoln also came from behind to earn a draw, with Tom Hopper's 49th-minute strike securing a 1-1 scoreline in their season opener against Exeter City. The Imps face a much tougher test when they travel to the South Coast, looking for just their second win on Pompey soil in their last seven visits. 1:2
Clark Robertson remains doubtful after missing the trip to Sheffield Wednesday, while Sean Raggett could also miss out once again. Mark Kennedy has no injury worries from the opening-day draw with Exeter.
