Portsmouth's promotion chances assessed following Leeds United and Luton Town draws

What are Pompey's chances of making it back-to-back promotions and reaching the Premier League this season?

It has been an encouraging return to the Championship for Portsmouth - despite John Mousinho’s side still waiting for their first win of the season.

The dramatic opening day draw at Leeds United showed plenty of promise as a debut goal from Elias Sorensen and a Callum Lang brace helped Pompey to a share of the spoils in a six-goal thriller at Elland Road.

And on Saturday, when a Luton Town side relegated from the Premier League last season were Fratton Park’s first visitors of the season, Pompey battled to another draw, although may well feel they could and should have taken maximum points after Hatters goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski was shown a red card on the half-hour mark.

Facing two high-calibre opponents in the opening week of the league season has provided a significant test for John Mousinho and his players - but what have the two draws done for their chances of claiming promotion this season? We take a look at the latest odds with the help of Bet365.
