Why Green Bay will beat Cleveland State

• Green Bay has won each of its last six day games against Conference opponents at Resch Center.

• Green Bay has won the first half in five of its last six home games against Cleveland State at Resch Center.

Cleveland State vs Green Bay Prediction 

Green Bay comes into this matchup trying to snap their four-game losing streak, but they have allowed at least 84 points in three of their last four games. The Phoenix have been very bad defensively and they are only averaging 29.3 rebounds per game. Cleveland State has lost four of their last five games and they are shooting just 42% from the field. I really don’t like either team in this game and even though Green Bay has been awful on defense, I like their offense better and they are at home. Take the Phoenix here.
