Osasuna's woes continued over the weekend, as they suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Levante, despite having a two-goal lead in the first 11 minutes. The hosts have now lost three of their last four games, with only one victory in their last six outings.
As things stand, Alessio Lisci's men are three points behind seventh-placed Getafe with three matches left to play. They could secure a European spot by winning their remaining games.
Osasuna will have first-choice goalkeeper Sergio Herrera suspended for this encounter. The 33-year-old was sent off against Levante for handling the ball outside the area.
Victor Munoz is another absentee for the hosts, with his calf injury needing a couple more weeks to heal. Prior to the injury, the former Real Madrid man was in Luis de la Fuente’s plans for the FIFA World Cup, and a delayed recovery could halt Munoz’s chances for a place in the national team.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid followed their UEFA Champions League semi-final exit with a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against Celta Vigo on Saturday.
Unlike their opponents, the visitors have nothing left to play for, as they are guaranteed a top-five spot and will almost certainly finish fourth at the end of the season.
However, it is fair to note that Los Colchoneros won six of their last seven trips to this stadium, although they lost their most recent visit last season.
Giuliano Simeone (thigh), Julian Alvarez (ankle), Pablo Barrios (thigh), Johnny Cardoso (muscle), and Nicolas Gonzalez (thigh) are all ruled out of this encounter due to injury, while Alex Baena serves a one-match suspension for accumulated yellow cards.

Whispers Predicts: Osasuna 1-0 Atletico Madrid
At 2.53, Osasuna are considered favourites by the bookmakers.
Given that this is a crucial game for the hosts, who have lost only once in their last 11 home games, we believe that Osasuna will return to winning ways on Tuesday night.
Interestingly, at least one team failed to score in eight of the last nine encounters between these teams, so BTTS – No at 2.20 could be worth a punt.
Furthermore, Atletico Madrid are coming off back-to-back 1-0 defeats, and a similar result can be backed at 9.30.
> Under 2.5 total goals at 2.00 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 2.20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Osasuna at 2.53 | Likelihood: Possible
> Osasuna & BTTS – No at 4.50 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct Score: 1-0 at 9.30 | Likelihood: Outsider
