I looked into the overs...Lens has not scored a goal in nine straight away games dating to last winter, two scoreless draws and seven losses. Last year in
UEFA Cup, French teams played a lot of overs...Lens games at home had 22 goals, away 6 goals.
YB last year played a 3-3 at home against Marseille but otherwise was not involved in many overs.
I'm inclined to believe that the French league is better, so YB may not have it so easy, especially if Lens plays desfensively on the road, which last year's numbers suggest is likely.
