The final day of the League One campaign is set to be an exciting one, with the battle for promotion, play-off spots and survival all reaching a climax.

Pompey, however, can enjoy their trip to Lincoln (12.30pm kick-off) knowing that the title has already been wrapped up.

But it is a different story for their opponents, who are trying to maintain their position inside the top six.

Michael Skubala’s men know that a victory would likely be enough to secure an extension to their campaign into May.

Even a draw or a defeat could be sufficient, though, if two of Barnsley, Oxford and Blackpool drop points.

Having initially endured a tough start after replacing Mark Kennedy in November, Skubala has dragged the Imps up the table.

They were on a 16-match unbeaten run until losing to Wigan a fortnight ago, which included successive routs of Barnsley (5-1), Cambridge (6-0) and Bristol Rovers (5-0) last month.

And Lincoln bounced back from that Latics reverse to beat play-off rivals Oxford and struggling Cheltenham, ensuring they go into the final day in a positive position.

Goals from Paddy Lane and Regan Poole saw Pompey battle from behind to win 2-1 when the sides met on the south coast earlier in the season.

The Blues head to Sincil Bank having not lost on any of their past six visits, with City’s last home success coming all the way back in 1980.

Portsmouth Football Club would like to remind fans that it is a criminal offence to enter the pitch. Please remain in the stands at the final whistle, so that the players can come over to you and show their thanks for your superb backing during the course of a memorable season.

TEAM NEWS
Josh Dockerill (knee), Tom McIntyre (ankle), Joe Morrell (knee), Regan Poole (knee), Anthony Scully (ankle) and Alex Robertson (hamstring) are all out.

But Terry Devlin could make a first appearance in almost three months after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Lincoln's Reeco Hackett joins Poole and Scully in not being able to feature against his former club after hurting his shoulder.

PRE-MATCH EVENTS
Like Wigan last week, Lincoln will provide a guard of honour to welcome the newly crowned League One champions onto the pitch.

Both sides will lay a wreath in front of the Stacey West Stand to remember those who lost their lives – including two Lincoln fans – in the 1985 Valley Parade disaster.

A period of silence will then be held, which begins and ends on the referee’s whistle.
