The teams met in the Leasing.com Trophy group stages last term, with the Blues winning 3-1 at Fratton Park in September 2019.
Ellis Harrison and Josh Flint were the scorers on that occasion, although the latter is no longer at the club.
It will also be an opportunity for Sean Raggett to face the club he left at the season’s end – subsequently signing a permanent Pompey deal.
