I don't think that with the current form of Real Madrid any surprise can come from their opponents in the two matches. You are underestimating Madrid just because they had little challenges in the beginning of the season that made them lost their reputation and prestige to smaller clubs. However, things are different now and it's time for Madrid to start whipping asses.

When you play in UCL there is one thing that should not be forgotten, never underestimate Real Madrid. In the midst of its inconsistent which is not too promising but we have seen this phenomenon many times. Even last season Madrid who lost Benzema could survive to the final, so I am optimistic for Madrid to continue in the remaining 2 matches by winning 3 points. With the note that the score is thin both when it comes to RB Salzburg and Brest.

Madrid we know as the favorite team so far when playing in the UCL, but if we look at their performance this season, we have to admit that they are not in perfect condition like the previous seasons, so although Salzburg and Brest are not teams on the same level with Madrid, but we cannot underestimate them, especially in the last match of the league phase,  In my opinion, the pressure and burden will actually be on Madrid  side later in the match, because indeed their position is still difficult to qualify for the next round.
Currently Salzburg and Brest need to focus on mental and physical preparation to be able to overcome the pressure from Madrid like you say, in addition, the right strategy and the ability to stay calm under pressure will be very important when facing a big team like Madrid.
 I am also sure that Madrid will be able to win the remaining two matches, but I think the victory will not be easy for them to get.

It will definitely not be difficult to beat Salzburg, because they play poorly against top teams and Real will easily beat them, but with Brest everything may not be so simple, because they played this group tournament not badly, but I think Real is quite capable of beating them. Therefore, the whole intrigue in this group stage of the new format remains only in whether Real will be able to enter the top 8 or not.

I also think so, overall Real Madrid's performance this season is very inconsistent and also the matches in UCL cannot be underestimated especially overall the strength of RB Salzburg and Brest is not that bad this season so it is also possible for RB Salzburg and Brest to make a surprise when playing against Real Madrid later.
I think everything is possible in the remaining 2 UCL matches before the playoffs later and I think Real Madrid cannot be favored excessively.

Two or three goal differences is a sense bet considering Real Madrid is playing at home with full squad.  I expect there will be so many goals scored by them. I personally keen to pick Madrid - 2.5 instead of Total Goal. The risk is high, but worth with the odds.

Total Over offers small odds, which is not satisfied me to bet on it.

This shall be an easy game, if not, Madrid deserves to be blamed.

Real Madrid is now back into their business while they won their two games even things were not favourable for them against Valencia but still they have done good job and go through till last minute now we have few big games in coming days while we will have Real Madrid could be at his best because now there is no room for giving space and having any poor result we will be having good punishment for the Salzburg while going 2+ is surely good best because I am also feeling they can score good number of goals which will give them good confidence for their last game against Brest in France.

Carlos Ancelotti is one of the best in business, and he understands how to go through for big wins when they needed to be on wrong side January is going to be good for the Real Madrid while they will be having few good games which will give them good boost and chance of keeping things on top.

Honestly I will not underestimate RB Salzburg and Brest, moreover Madrid is still a bit unstable when playing against teams below them. However, because this is the Champions League, at least Ancelotti and his troops understand the atmosphere on the field much better. Talking about the Champions League, the most important thing is the mentality to play until the end, therefore RB Salzburg and Brest must be able to match the mentality of Real Madrid game. That is the only key that other clubs need to prepare when playing against Madrid.

Real Madrid really need a win to secure their position to qualify for the play offs and I have no doubts about Real Madrid in the Champions League match, they have an above average mentality so I don't think there will be a big surprise.
Overall Salzburg and Brest are not tough opponents for Real Madrid, so there is no need to doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League match, and it is true that in football anything is possible but if it is for Real Madrid in the Champions League match I think the percentage will be smaller.

15 points should be enough I think, but the score difference isn't looking too well for Aston Villa. That could still put them into the playoff stage. But the teams behind them would have to win their games and some of those matches are two teams fighting for the best 8, that's why 15 points could still be enough.

But if you go from 9th (Dortmund) to 14th (Juventus), they all could finish with 15 points. Dortmund has Bologna and Shakhtar, Bayern has Feyenoord and Bratislava and the other teams have good chances to win their games. It will be electrifying till this round is over.

On paper Real Madrid are far superior to Salzburg and Brest, but anything can happen as long as the match is still in progress. Although the chances for both clubs are very slim, it could be very decisive and could punish Real Madrid. What just happened at Anfield when Man United held Liverpool to a draw could happen to Real Madrid.
This match is very important for Real Madrid to determine their fate in the UCL, they must take advantage of every opportunity and prevent the slightest mistake so as not to lose points at a crucial time.

That's true because the quality of coaches and players also really determines the results even though luck can not be separated from the good and bad results obtained by any team. Aston Villa occupies a strategic position in the fifth position of the standings and overall the opportunity for the brand of passing automatically is very widely wide. Emery does have experience in the capacity to become a coach but that is also not enough because entering the next round of the match will definitely be far more increased.

Let's see how the team that is currently qualifying for the next round with the rest of the match can give a little calm to face the remaining match and some strong teams may have to fight harder through the playoffs so that they are not necessarily safe to ensure themselves qualify for the next round.

In RB Salzburg's last match in the UCL against PSG and it ended with a score of 0-3 for PSG's victory, of course there we saw that RB Salzburg's strength was not good and this is normal because PSG certainly has a better squad. Of course, in the next match at the Santiago Bernabeu, RB Salzburg will face Real Madrid, yes of course Real Madrid will be even stronger because Real Madrid was a strong team last season, so it seems that what you said is true, that Real Madrid will certainly have great potential to win because of course From looking at the squad compared to RB Salzburg, of course Real Madrid is superior, especially since Real Madrid are the hosts, so it will definitely be easy for us to predict the result of the match and yes, Ancelotti's troops will definitely have great potential to win that match.

However, of course we won't know the truth later because sometimes the results of matches are always difficult to predict and what is certain is that I hope Ancelotti will not underestimate RB Salzburg because yes, as we already know, of course it is possible for a team that is considered weak to win. But yes, of course I'm sure that many people will bet on that match for Real Madrid to win and of course I also want to bet on Real Madrid's win in the upcoming match if I personally guess 3-1 for Real Madrid to win.

Real Madrid's performance this season in the Champions League can be said to be quite bad. Because the teams that should be struggling to compete for the top rankings are currently struggling to qualify for the play-offs. And actually Real Madrid's current position is not completely safe. If Real Madrid wants to maintain its current ranking in the UCL then there is no other choice for Real Madrid but to win the next match and the next. Because that way Real Madrid can at least qualify for the play-offs. But to qualify for the next stage I think is almost impossible. Because currently Real Madrid and the team ranked 8th have a difference of 4 points. And yes, chasing their points is not enough by just winning one match. And it is possible that LOSC, which is currently ranked 8th, can add points from the remaining two matches. So it could be said that Real Madrid's hope of qualifying for the next stage is only by having to go through the Play-off round first.

I believe betting on Real Madrid, even giving salzburg handicap is a good idea. I get that Real didn't do great so far this season but it looks like they are going to be great on the long run so I do not think that we are going to see anything marginal changing here, we should not be considering this to be a big deal at all. I believe we can make this work, we just need some time and because of that I believe we can just adjust the situation as well as we possibly could, and if we can do that, then we could potentially see a great bet return as well.

Betting Salzburg to lose with more than 2 or even 3 goal difference isn't really that shocking, it is a reasonable expectation because they are quite terrible and Real Madrid may had some troubles at the start of the season but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with them losing this one out, I am sure that we are going to end up seeing a good win without a doubt, and that's the most important part.

Manchester City's performance has fallen suddenly. And it was unimaginable that Manchester City would fall so suddenly. Manchester City's squad was strong. Last season we saw that despite De Bruyne being injured for a long time, City's overall performance was stable. But this season Manchester City could not maintain the good performance. However, the PSG vs City match will be competitive. It cannot be said that PSG will win. Because the performance of PSG's attacking players is very weak and irregular. However, the Luis Enrique vs Guardiola match will definitely be exciting.

Aston Villa's chances of qualifying directly to the next round are still quite large because they currently have 13 points, even if they draw against the two teams, I think Aston Villa can still qualify, but with the hope that the clubs below them do not exceed the points they have achieved. If you look at the conditions of each club, Aston Villa looks better than Monaco and Celtic, but I think these two clubs will not give up because they also definitely want to fight hard to get points to stay in the play-off zone, even though the chances of qualifying directly to the next round are quite small because they have only collected 10/9 points.

Since the beginning of the UEFA Champion League Manchester City has indeed become one of the favourite teams to become champions this season, but it doesn't always go according to what the fans want, even the coaches and players themselves never imagined Manchester City would be in such a difficult situation, Pep Guardiola as a coach for the past few seasons has brought Manchester City to a better direction, bringing victory after victory, it's just that this season is really very bad, but whatever it is i still fully support Manchester City even though they will lose in the match against PSG later.

In the upcoming match, Manchester City, who is the visiting team, must of course be ready to face the hosts, PSG will certainly be no less great when competing and indeed this match is very important for both parties because this will certainly determine the battle for ranking and of course both teams will act with their best performance. . It's true that Manchester City's performance has not been very good lately.
like in their last match, Manchester City played well in the domestic league against West Ham and of course in that match, Manchester City really showed their greatness.

It seems certain that in the match there will be a good match and there will definitely be tight competition, which will definitely result in an exciting match. Indeed, it seems that it will be difficult to predict who will win the match because of course both teams are big and strong teams. but in my opinion, if you look at the strength of the two teams, it seems like there could be a lot of goals scored by both teams.

On the one hand, if you look at PSG at the moment, their performance is very good and they have just won the French Super Cup. PSG is really cool and what is certain is that because of this, Pep also has to be alert.

Finally someone speaks the truth here as almost everybody believes the game against Brest would be as easy as a walk with the dog. It is not going to be easy I think. Yes it is true that on average Brest would lose more games against Real Madrid than they would win, but this is a one game situation and I think anything is possible because as you already pointed out, Brest has had some good results in the Champions League.

The good thing for Real Madrid is that they play the next game at home against Salzburg an I agree that this should be a win and then they are at least safe in the play-off rounds. Theoretically, if Real Madrid wins both games I think it could be enough to get into the top . It is going to be close and of course depends on all the results of the other teams, but 15 points could be sufficient if they are able to push their goal difference by a bit as that could be decisive.

Brest has a unique chance to qualify for the round of 16 and not go through play-offs and I think everyone can imagine how much Brest will push for that. They are not waiting at home to get easily beaten by Real Madrid because they are the bigger name on paper.
