Soccer is in full swing in Spain this weekend with all but two clubs in La Liga in action for Matchday 21.
Following a fifth straight victory, Barcelona hold their largest lead at the top of the table, opening an eight-point gap to Real Madrid in second. The Catalan club will look to extend the winning run in this week's headliner match at Villarreal on Sunday.
My other favorite plays of the week start with Friday's fixture between Cadiz and Girona, where I feel the visitors have value to pick up a result. Meanwhile, I'm not expecting many goals in Real Betis' trip to Almeria for Saturday's early kick.
This is the second slate of matches since the close of the January transfer window, and it is the time of the year when races at both ends of the table start to heat up. So, let's dive into my three best bets in La Liga this weekend.
