The record champions had the measure of Leipzig in both league fixtures last term, but in a one-off match on home turf, Ralph Hasenhüttl's side, who finished second behind Bayern in the Bundesliga last term, will feel confident of getting past Carlo Ancelotti's men and plotting the next marker on the path to the final in Berlin in May.
