Bayern have seen their three-point Bundesliga lead since the winter break transform into a seven-point deficit, after an erratic start to the year which looks to have derailed their treble chances.
Schweinsteiger's absence since early February with a ligament injury has proved costly with Bayern winning only two of their five games in all competitions during that time.
"I am not 100 percent yet. Ideally I would need two or three games but as things are now I have to be ready from the word go," Schweinsteiger told reporters after returning to training this week.
"We need to find our own game again," said the Germany international in reference to their winning streak earlier this season.
"When you play 16 years for such a club, [winning] becomes your second nature," Babbel said. "We will try to keep up with them and maybe even spring a surprise. We have to use any of our chances to the full."
"The way they are playing at the moment it is difficult to catch up with them," said Schweinsteiger.
