With the transfer window closed, attention can now turn back to what happens on the pitch.
And Pompey are 21/20 favourites with Sky Bet to start September in style by beating Rotherham at Fratton Park on Sunday (2.30pm kick-off).
The visitors – who were relegated from the Championship last term – can be backed at 5/2, with the draw also at 5/2.
It was 3-2 to the Blues when the sides last met back in 2003 and a repeat of that scoreline is on offer at 25/1.
Alternatively, you can hedge your bets by selecting Pompey to win either 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 at a still respectable 6/1.
The four deadline day arrivals could make their debuts and you can bet on each of them to net the opener.
Striker Oliver Hawkins is the most fancied at 11/2, followed by Matty Kennedy at 9/1, Stuart O’Keefe at 18/1 and Damien McCrory at 25/1.
But it is Brett Pitman who leads the first goalscorer market at 4/1, with former Blues winger Ryan Williams at 9/1 for the visitors.
