Members Borussia Dortmund are aiming to shatter Bayern Munich's 'ideal period' when Germany's top two teams collide in Wednesday's emergency German Cup quarter-final in a of last season's final. 'For them, it's a perfect season, for us it is like a Champions League absent game,' said Dortmund instructor Jurgen Klopp with Bayern a commanding 17 things obvious at the top of the Bundesliga, with Borussia minute in the group. "We know that we're among the several clubs in the world who will defeat Bayern. "We have goals in this competition, but we truly need an excellent performance. "You can not beat Bayern by playing at just 98 percent." The match at Munich's Allianz Arena could be the plum tie of the cup quarter-finals with relatively unstoppable Bayern up against last season's domestic dual champions Dortmund. "These are the two best teams in Germany. I reckon the whole state is looking forward to it - and so are we," said Bayern leader Philipp Lahm. Having hammered Bayern 5-2 in last May's German Cup final, when Poland striker Robert Lewandowski netted a, Dortmund have a lot of connection with beating their Bavarian competitors recently. Bayern haven't crushed Dortmund in a league or cup match since February 2010, while they did enjoy a 2-1 Supercup remaining gain in August over Borussia in a warm-up for the Bundesliga's top sides. "Three years ago, we still had to scroll through the history books to see when we last acquired against Bayern," quipped Klopp with both Bayern and Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League. "Now we have realized that the respect from Bayern has increased towards us." Bayern are clearly investing heavily in Wednesday's sport as coach Jupp Heynckes relaxed several stars for last Saturday's 6-1 hammering of Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena. Lahm, Dutch wing Arjen Robben and Brazil centre-back Dante were also all provided Monday down by Heynckes to rest up for the fit. "We have big aspirations in the cup and are extremely motivated," said Heynckes, with Bayern last having acquired a title in May 2010 and are on course for an ancient treble. "We are playing at home, we're self confident and we're playing football at an extremely higher level. So we're optimistic." Dortmund may have centre-back Mats Hummels (bruised thigh), midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski (hip stress) and striker Robert Lewandowski (suspension) back after missing Sunday's 1-1 bring at Moenchengladbach. Bayern will be without France wing Franck Ribery, who's stopped after a card in December's past round, while Spain midfielder Javi Martinez is expected to be healthy despite suffering a light groin injury against Bremen. With all due respect to another teams in the quarter-finals, Wednesday night's success will become the chances on favourite to gain the German Cup closing at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on June 1. On Tuesday, Mainz 05 host Freiburg, in the round's only other all-Bundesliga match, and third-division Kickers Offenbach host top-tier area VfL Wolfsburg, while VfB Stuttgart are home to second-division VfL Bochum on Wednesday. Giant-killers Offenbach are looking to maintain their third Bundesliga head having already defeated Greuther Fuerth and Fortuna Duesseldorf en route to the past nine.
