Despite playing at home, Guardiola knows that Ancelotti will be looking to catch Bayern on the counterattack, making the most of the spectacular runs from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Guardiola wants to bolster his defensive line-up to close down the two sprinters.
That's the reason why the Bayern coach chatted with two of his defenders, Dante and Boateng starters in the last league match for almost half an hour during the last open training session.
The latter played on the left on Saturday, but could return to the centre of the field alongside the Brazilian. Javi Martínez is the other alternative.
On the other side of defence, Philipp Lahm could make a return to right-back, his natural position, to exploit his pace.
