Where Pompey could finish in the League One table this season

Portsmouth have found themselves on the brink of battling for the play-offs in their final nine matches of the League One season after winning their previous two matches. The club now sit seven points from sixth place with a game in hand.

Pompey have had a turbulant season so far that saw them part ways with the Cowley brothers in January but could now battle the big boys for a spot in the Championship next season.
