With the season’s finish line fast approaching, the games continue to come thick and fast for Pompey.
They travel to Morecambe on Easter Monday after first returning to Fratton Park for a Good Friday contest with Lincoln (3pm kick-off).
There are plenty of connections between the two teams, with Joe Morrell, Sean Raggett and Tyler Walker for the hosts, and Chris Maguire and John Marquis for the visitors, all having previously been employed by the other club.
Both managers also had spells in charge of their opponents, although will probably have contrasting feelings about their time at the helm.
Michael Appleton certainly underwent a turbulent experience after the Blues went into administration soon after he took charge.
The memories will be fonder for Danny and Nicky Cowley, who helped lead Lincoln into League One from the National League.
They were also in charge when the Imps became the first non-league club to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for more than a century, with Raggett getting the winner against top-flight Burnley in 2017.
The men from Sincil Bank currently sit 18th and are not completely safe from the drop, although do hold a healthy eight-point gap to the bottom four.
City were 1-0 winners on their trip to the south coast last season, but goals from Marcus Harness, George Hirst and Reeco Hackett saw the Blues ease to a 3-0 victory at Sincil Bank earlier in the current campaign.
TEAM NEWS
Kieron Freeman (ankle), Reeco Hackett (knee) and Jayden Reid (knee) all remain sidelined for Pompey.
Denver Hume (back) is closing in on being available again, while Marcus Harness (knee), Michael Jacobs (hamstring) and Louis Thompson (hip) are all doubts.
Lincoln have been hit by the news that Liam Bridcutt will miss the remainder of the campaign with a quad problem.
