Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 victory at Real Sociedad over the weekend.
After playing four consecutive away games across all competitions, Diego Simeone's troops will return to the Metropolitano, where they have one win and one draw in two league games.
With 10 points earned from a possible 15, the hosts are fifth in La Liga at the time of writing, two points behind local rivals Real Madrid and five points behind leaders Barcelona.
Los Colchoneros will remain without key forwards Alexander Sorloth, Julian Alvarez, and Pablo Barrios, although they have no shortage of options up front, as Kang-in Lee, Ademola Lookman, and Alex Baena are expected to start in attack.
On the other hand, Osasuna followed their humiliating 5-2 defeat against Deportivo Alaves with another disappointing result last weekend, as they fell at home to Espanyol by two unanswered goals.
The visitors were comfortably in sixth place after matchday 3 but have now dropped five spots due to their last two losses.
Head coach Luis Miguel Ramis will be unable to call upon the services of the injured trio of Aimar Oroz, Jorge Herrando, and Moi Gomez for this clash.
Although Ante Budimir failed to score in last weekend's defeat to Osasuna, the Croatian forward had netted in three straight matches prior to that encounter and should, without any doubt, lead the line against Atletico.
Osasuna have had a poor track record against their hosts in recent years, as they have lost nine of their last 10 trips to this stadium and have 14 defeats in the last 16 H2Hs.
However, it is worth mentioning that the visitors have two wins in those 16 encounters, and both came in their last five clashes.

Whispers Predicts: Atletico Madrid 3-1 Osasuna
At 9/20 (1.45), Atletico Madrid are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
Considering their dominance over Osasuna in this fixture, coupled with the visiting team's recent run of results, we are confident that Simeone's side will claim all the spoils at home.
At least five goals were scored in each of Atletico Madrid's last five fixtures, and this can be backed at 7/10 (1.70).
We also fancy over 2.5 Atletico Madrid goals at 31/20 (2.55), given that the visitors conceded seven goals in their last two matches.
