Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber has insisted that "the little things" will decide the outcome of what promises to be a tight game against Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund travel to the Allianz Arena this Saturday as they look to close the gap at the top of the Bundesliga.

Badstuber has claimed that he is just trying to focus on the game and make sure no mistakes are made, but admits that "prestige is at stake".

"Dortmund are a fantastic team, but we're in very good shape. It'll be a tight, hotly-contested game. The little things will decide it," he told the club's official site.

"I'm certain we'll be the team making no mistakes, or fewer decisive errors. And we have to play as a tight unit, we need to come together and work together. That's the recipe for success.

"The whole thing's being heavily hyped. I'm trying to shut out all of that and focus completely on the match. That's part of our craft. But obviously, it's not just any other Bundesliga fixture, prestige is at stake."

Badstuber has been at Bayern Munich since 2002 after joining as a youth player.
