Real Madrid must be able to overcome Salzburg first at the Santiago Bernabeu before playing away to Brest. It makes sense, although this is just a personal opinion, but I think Brest was very lucky in the last few games because they got slightly weaker opponents.
This match is very important for Real Madrid to determine their fate in the UCL, so they will play with high spirits to maintain their chances of qualifying through the Play-offs.

Real Madrid needs to win their remaining two matches if they really want to have a chance in the champions league next round this season. Their performance has not been so good here and they have recently got back into form in the La Liga, so I feel they should be able to show same action here and see themselves pass through this round of the competition to the next one. The defending champions should be able to defend their cup this season and only if they can make it to the next round they have the chances of doing it. Salzburg may be a weaker team to them to play against but their condition this season makes it very hard for them to just prevail against them. So it will be very hard to confidently give the win to a team.
I agree on the thing that Real Madrid haven't been doing good in the Champions League so far. But I think this can be really misleading for people at the same time. One should never forget how skilled Real Madrid are in the tournament history. Even when they struggle they are able to find a way to be successful here. Remember last season. Their overall performance wasn't that impressive but they won the trophy anyway. 
I think they are still a serious title challenger this season as well. They have a great chemistry with Ancelotti too.

As a fierce team that Real Madrid are, no one will want to believe they will be eliminated from the first round, they all know they will do everything they can to get a win for the team and all move to the next round and continue their fight for the champions league trophy.
