The Toyota driver can successfully defend his WRC title at the asphalt event if he can outscore team-mate and title rival Elfyn Evans, who trails the Finn by 31 points.
The inaugural Central European Rally, which features stages in the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria, hosts the penultimate round of the season, meaning only a maximum of 60 points remain on the table.
Rovanpera has so far been relatively immune to pressure in his WRC career to date but he admits the "good pressure" he is feeling ahead of this weekend's rally will help him perform to the highest level.
If he scores more points than Evans he will become only the sixth driver to claim back-to-back WRC crowns.
"The team title is ours so of course that is really great and a big achievement for the whole team. Now we have the important battle for myself with the drivers' and co-drivers' titles so there will be a big push in the last two rallies for that," said Rovanpera.
When asked if he was feeling pressure ahead of the rally, he said: "I think it gives us a good pressure let's say.
"It is normally a bit better when you have a bit of pressure to do well as you are normally a bit more sharp and will do bit a better job.
