"Osasuna might have signed off April with a 2-1 victory at home against Sevilla, it appears that was just a minor boost for Los Rojillos. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with an action-packed 3-2 loss away at Levante, Alessio Lisci's side have shown some real cause for concern. Getting May underway with a 2-1 defeat against newly-crowned La Liga champions Barcelona, the Navarre-based outfit have lost three of their previous four appearances."
"With only their goal difference keeping them in the top-half of the table, Osasuna have also won just a pair of their previous 10 outings - a run that stems back to an iconic 2-1 victory against Real Madrid on February 21st. Likewise, Lisci's men also fell to a 1-0 loss when they travelled to Atletico for their reverse La Liga showdown back on October 18th."
"Osasuna Team News Shown a first-half red card away at Levante over the weekend, number one goalkeeper Sergio Herrera will miss out through suspension here. Dealing with a recent muscle injury, 22-year-old Victor Munoz will once again miss out on Tuesday night. Bagging what turned out to be a consolation strike on Friday night and notching 17 La Liga strikes this season, veteran striker Ante Budimir will shoulder Osasuna's goalscoring threat."
"As for the visitors, watching their Champions League adventure come to a heartbreaking end last week following a 2-1 aggregate defeat against Arsenal, Atletico Madrid suddenly find themselves at the heart of a public rut. Last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display as they fell to a 1-0 loss at home against Celta Vigo, it has been suggested"
Osasuna host Atletico Madrid at Estadio El Sadar seeking a La Liga boost. Osasuna enter after a 3-2 loss at Levante and a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona, with three losses in four matches and only two wins in their last ten. Their league position relies on goal difference, and they previously lost 1-0 at Atletico in October. Osasuna will miss goalkeeper Sergio Herrera due to suspension after a first-half red card, and Victor Munoz due to a muscle injury. Ante Budimir is expected to lead the attack after scoring 17 league goals, while Flavien Boyomo starts in central defense. Atletico are coming off a Champions League exit and a 1-0 home loss to Celta Vigo.
