Escobar the only pundit to predict Vasco win as round five springs surprises | OneFootball

The fifth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro upended many forecasts, with André Loffredo and Alex Escobar top scoring on four correct picks. Loffredo remains overall leader on 24 points.

According to Globo.com, three matches produced no correct predictions across the panel. Bahia and Grêmio were unanimous selections yet both were held at home.

Some collective calls did land. Vitória and Santos, picked by all participants as teams that would not win, did not win their matches.

Coritiba, who received no votes in their favour, defied the consensus by beating Corinthians away from home.

There were six votes backing a Palmeiras win and two for a draw, while Escobar alone called Vasco’s victory, securing the round’s only isolated correct pick.
