ZINEDINE ZIDANE gets his first taste of El Clasico as a manager tonight and bookies fear it could be his last.
The former Real Madrid star has been under increasing pressure at the Bernabeu club and it's just 3-1 Zidane leaves his post before the end of the season and that could be on if his side lose in the Nou Camp.
The omens aren't good for the 1998 World Cup winner with each of Real's last five managers losing their first clash with Barcelona.
I fancy Barca strongly but they're really short at a best 4-7 with William Hill and BetVictor. Barca -1 is on but that coudl depend on the shape of superstar trio Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar who were on their World Cup travels to South America last week.
All three to score pays 8-1 with Ladbrokes – and if you add Cristiano Ronaldo into the mix you can have 16-1. Make it an unlikely fivefold with Gareth Bale for 40-1.
Scott Allot's tipping goals in this one and I wouldn't argue with that so I'm after Barca -1, Barca and both to score and it could to almost anyone but let's pick Messi to break the deadlock.
