Bastia coach Frederic Hantz has urged his players to recover from their poor run of form with a victory against Ajaccio in the Corsica derby on Saturday.

Bastia have not won in their last six Ligue 1 games since beating Reims in mid-January and Hantz has targeted the home game with Ajaccio as the one to win.

"We're thinking about it a lot because we suffered a very, very big disappointment with the defeat against Nice," Hantz told beIN Sport.

"The big derby is coming now, and it's up to us to make sure this time we don't concede, and that we score a goal ourselves."

Bastia are currently 16th, four points above the relegation zone.
