How Portsmouth and their League One rivals are predicted to vote on EFL proposal - will Pompey's automatic promotion hopes be over?

Following the EFL’s meeting last week, it was announced that a framework for concluding the 2019/20 League One season had been put forward, allowing clubs to vote on whether they accept the season to be curtailed, with relegation and promotion still in place, and positions decided on an unweighted points-per-game system.

If the proposal is approved by at least 51% of League One clubs, Portsmouth’s automatic promotion hopes will be over, and they’ll have to settle for a place in the lottery that is the play-offs. Here’s a look at how all 23 clubs are expected to vote.

Ending the season now would see them go up to the Championship as champions, which would be rather ideal for them. Prediction: Curtail. (Photo by Lewis Storey/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: Lewis Storey

8. Doncaster Rovers

A tricky one, this. If the season were to resume, they'd have a decent chance of getting into the play-offs. It's the gamble though, as the process of doing so would be financially costly. Prediction: Curtail. (Photo by Pete Norton/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: Pete Norton
