There are a few things you can try depending on what you aim for:

Start by sampling the correct red dot using the "color picker" tool on the
left. Then add the sample to the live samples. Do this on the correct
picture and write down the numbers on a piece of paper (RGB or Lab as you
prefer). Otherwise you have to move back and forth between the two
pictures. Do this for a white and gray patch too, to be sure not to shift
those too much.
The Lab values should give you a clear idea of where the difference is.

For fixing colors:

Lab curves: go to tone curve, set it to scale chroma to manual and use the
"a" and "b" tab to fix it.
Color zones: just play around
Color balance (RGB): lift is for highlights, gamma medium tones and gain is
for shadows.

The problem with this is that is quite easy to fix a single picture but
very hard to come up with a preset that you can save and apply to all. But
with a little effort you can come up with a reasonable starting point.

In general, the best thing you can do is to find an ICC profile for the 80D
and use it with the "input color profile" module.

Another thing that sometimes works wonders is "color mapping". Take the
picture with correct colors and press "acquire as source", then move to the
picture to fix and press "acquire as target". I think this works best with
pictures with similar content. I do not know if this can work as a general
solution using a picture with a lot of different colours as source.
