Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber is confident that his side can record a good result in Saturday's Bundesliga match at home against Wolfsburg.
FCB was surprisingly beaten 3-1 by Borussia Monchenglandbach, and Badstuber is determined to return to winning ways at the weekend.
"We've trained really well this week. I'm certain we've taken a good step forward. I'm very optimistic about the Wolfsburg match," Badstuber said on the official Bayern website.
"Jupp Heynckes has laid special emphasis on defending as a team this week, because we were sloppy in the last match.
"We showed total unity and conviction as a team earlier this season, and everyone helped out everyone else, none of us were too far away from our team-mates. We know that was what made us strong, and we aim to demonstrate that again on Saturday."
