Stuttgart's four-game winning streak ended over the weekend, as they were beaten 1-0 by Hamburg in the Bundesliga.
The hosts will turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League, where they have had an excellent start, defeating Norwegian side Viking 3-1 and Slovak outfit Slovan Bratislava 3-0.
Head coach Sebastian Hoeness will not be able to call upon the services of the injured Ameen Al-Dakhil (knee), Justin Diehl (thigh), Maximilian Mittelstadt (heel), and Tiago Tomas (muscle).
Ermedin Demirovic has been nothing short of impressive in the Champions League, having scored four goals in two appearances, and is the joint-top scorer in the competition. The 28-year-old is expected to lead the charge with support from Denis Undav, who has three goal contributions in two UCL appearances.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid needed a late goal to beat Espanyol on the road over the weekend, extending their winning streak across all competitions to six matches.
In two Champions League fixtures, Diego Simeone's troops lost at Liverpool (2-1) and beat Manchester United (2-0) at home. They are 15th in the league phase ahead of this clash with fourth-placed Stuttgart.
Los Colchoneros have no new injury concerns, although Johnny Cardoso is not expected to be a part of this encounter, as the American midfielder needs a few more days to recover from an illness. Julian Alvarez came off the bench in the win over Espanyol and is a strong candidate to start up front on Tuesday alongside summer recruit Jonathan David.
While these teams played to a 1-1 draw in an August 2018 friendly, this will be their first competitive clash. Stuttgart have a 4-4-9 win-draw-loss record in 17 competitive meetings with Spanish sides, while Atletico Madrid have a 25-9-20 record against Germany opponents.
