A look at some of Pompey's 2017/18 opponents
Charlton Athletic
Last season was a fairly unspectacular one on the pitch for the Addicks, who finished firmly in mid-table.
But the club hit the headlines for a series of fan protests against the owners, which included pitch invasions and the throwing of plastic pigs!

Doncaster Rovers
Rovers fans will still be scratching their heads about how their side failed to claim the League Two title last term.
They secured promotion with five games to spare and one more win would have seen them collect the silverware, but earned just a solitary point to allow Pompey to snatch top spot.

Fleetwood Town
A first ever season in the second tier of English football became a tantalising possibility when Fleetwood reached the play-offs last season.
But there was to be no day out at Wembley, with Rory McArdle’s goal in the first leg enough to see Bradford progress to the final.

Gillingham
The Gills managed to preserve their League One status on the final day of last season – despite failing to win at Northampton.
They needed to match Port Vale’s result to avoid the drop, with both sides only managing a goalless draw.

Milton Keynes Dons
The youngest EFL club will be hoping to secure promotion back to the Championship at the second attempt following last season’s mid-table finish.
But they will have to do so without several key names, as Dean Bowditch, George Baldock and Darren Potter have departed for Northampton, Sheffield United and Rotherham respectively.

Northampton Town
The Cobblers romped to the League Two title a year ago, but it was Pompey who put a dent in their magnificent run.
They had been in unbeaten in 10 games – winning nine of the them – prior to the Blues’ 2-1 victory at Sixfields Stadium just before Christmas and would go on to lose just once more all season.
