Pompey will again be aiming for promotion after suffering League One play-off semi-final defeat to Oxford United last term.

The Blues are one of the favourites with the bookies to reach the Championship at the end of the campaign.

But what are their odds to be relegated? History tells us that teams who have been beaten in the play-offs the previous year can go down the next term.

In 2017-18, Bradford and Scunthorpe both lost in the olay-offs before being demoted League Two the following season.

Paddy Power have compiled the odds on who they believe will go down this term*.
