Pompey halted their losing run by claiming a dramatic draw with Plymouth at Fratton Park earlier in the week.
Now the challenge is to make a return to winning ways when they visit Charlton on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
There were plenty of arrivals and departures at The Valley over the summer, with the squad taking some time to gel.
The Addicks have secured a solitary League One victory so far this season – a 2-0 success over Crewe – and are currently sitting just inside the drop zone.
They were also in action on Tuesday night, but let slip a one-goal lead and had to settle for a point at Gillingham.
Nigel Adkins is in the hot-seat after replacing Lee Bowyer – who left to take charge of Birmingham – in March.
They were sitting in sixth spot when he arrived, but despite just one loss in the final 10 games, they missed out on the play-offs on goal difference.
Both sides won on the road in last season’s meetings, with Pompey securing an impressive 3-1 triumph in the capital.
Michael Jacobs, Tom Naylor and Andy Cannon were on target for Kenny Jackett’s men in a game that was delayed by three days because of a waterlogged pitch.
TEAM NEWS
Connor Ogilvie could return from a quad injury to feature, but skipper Clark Robertson (hip) is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after seeing a specialist.
Forward Jayden Reid (knee) and full-back Liam Vincent (shin) are also long-term absentees for the Blues.
The Addicks will be without Jake Forster-Caskey (knee), Ryan Inniss (thigh) and Ronnie Schwartz (calf).
Former Pompey players Craig MacGillivray, Jason Pearce and Jayden Stockley are all expected to be involved for the hosts.
