I'm not sure what do you mean by 2 red opposite faces the answer could be 0 as the cubes with 2 red faces will have the paint on the adjacent faces. If you are trying to count them then:
The smaller cubes on the faces of the bigger cube will have just 1 red face, the cubes on the corners will have 3 red faces and the cubes only on the edges will have 2 red faces.
Since the cube is cut into 64 pieces, means along the edges there will be 4 squares.
among these 4 two will be on the corners with three sides painted red and 2 will be on the edges with two sided painted red.
And there are 12 edges in the square. So the answer would be:
