Atleti were held to a 0-0 draw away to 10-man Getafe last weekend as they watched their lead atop the league summit shrink to four points with 11 games remaining.
"We did everything we could but the ball wouldn't go in. We have to take a point," said goalkeeper Jan Oblak following their stalemate at Getafe.
Head coach Diego Simeone added: "It was the game I expected. A point is still a step forward."
Alaves are fighting at the opposite end of the league standings and head into the weekend in 18th spot, a point from safety.
Babazorros are winless in five LaLiga matches following a 1-1 draw at home to Cadiz last time out.
