Ludogorets Razgrad are by far the best team in Bulgaria in recent years.

Ludogorets Razgrad holds the first place with 82 points while the 2nd-placed CSKA Sofia have only one fewer. 

Ludogorets Razgrad were dominant in the league over the years but not so much in the Cup. But, this season, they won the Cup too - "only" their third.

Cherno More Varna had an opportunity to qualify for the Cup finals, but they lost on penalties (2-1 for Cherno More Varna in regular time). Since then, they went on a bad streak with only one point in four matches. Still, they only once failed to score a goal in those four matches.

Ludogorets Razgrad have by far the best offensive record in the league with 80 scored goals - 2.35 per game. In two of the last three games, they scored three goals.
