The odds will be stacked heavily in Bayern's favour, although they have been dealt a blow in the build-up to the clash, with captain Philipp Lahm ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Lahm was forced off 28 minutes into his side's 3-1 UEFA Champions League win at CSKA Moscow on Wednesday, and will definitely miss Bayern's next two fixtures.
He joins an injury list that includes Bastian Schweinsteiger (ankle), Xherdan Shaqiri (hamstring), Claudio Pizarro (thigh), Diego Contento (foot) and long-term absentee Holger Badstuber (knee).
Franck Ribery has missed Bayern's last two games with a rib injury, while a calf problem kept Mario Mandzukic out of the trip to Russia, but both could be pushing to be in contention for Saturday.
If Croatia international Mandzukic is unavailable, coach Pep Guardiola is likely to continue with either Thomas Muller or Mario Gotze operating in a 'false nine' role in attack.
He said: "To call it a Herculean task is an understatement. Worldwide, every team tries to bring Bayern to the brink of defeat.
"However, my guys are tense, looking forward to the game and will not put up the white flag.
"We need to be at our maximum but I cannot ask anything super-human from my team.
"Many opponents have already had many ideas (on how to stop Bayern), but none were enough to get something."
