The Germans, who were on the brink of elimination, were granted a stay of execution on Wednesday when they beat Maccabi Haifa 1-0 while Juventus lost 2-0 to already-qualified Girondins Bordeaux.
The Italians are on eight points with Bayern on seven ahead of the Dec. 8 clash at the Stadio Olimpico between two sides that have won Europe's top club competition six times between them.
"I think the chances are now 50-50," Bayern coach Louis van Gaal said after their win against Haifa.
"We were superior to Juventus in the first half when we played them at home. I think that we will have our chances there and we can score that winning goal quickly."
"Now we have a final in Turin. We have to play to win because it really makes no sense to play for a draw there," Hoeness said.
"That could be fatal. I think it is better if the team plays to win from the start. So we will only have one direction and that will be going towards Juventus' goal. Full power," he said.
