Redknapp to guide Tottenham into the Champions League group stages?
It's 5/2 for Redknapp's men to be eliminated at the current stage and 13/8 the group stages. 40/1 is in offer for Spurs to lift the Champions League trophy at Wembley Stadium next May.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Everybody expects Tottenham to qualify through to the group stages but if Spurs turn up with the same attitude as last night next Wednesday their European campaign could easily come to an end at the current stage."

Kevin MacDonald cut to 5/4 in next Aston Villa manager betting
Sky Bet have cut Kevin MacDonald's odds to 5/4 (from 11/8) to become the next Aston Villa manager following further support for the Scot to fill the vacant post.
Sven-Groan Eriksson, who was subject of a gamble last week, is now out to 4/1 (from 11/4) whilst Bob Bradley is 5/1 (from 3/1).
Following the news that Ronald Koeman has expressed an interest in becoming the next manager of Aston Villa, Sky Bet make the Dutch legend 7/1 to take over at Villa Park.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Aston Villa take on Rapid Vienna this evening in the Europa League and victory for the Villans would see MacDonald's chances of being named as the new manager no harm especially after Villa's opening day victory against West Ham."

Alastair Cook eased to 4/6 to play in first Ashes Test
Following another disappointing innings from Alastair Cook in England's first innings of the third Test against Pakistan, Sky Bet have eased the price on Cook to play in the first Ashes Test to 4/6 (from 4/9). Much of the pre-match talk was about the form of Cook but after getting caught behind for just six runs, the England opener did nothing to silence his critics.
Cook is 9/4 to score a half century in England's second innings (1/3 not to) and 7/1 to go on and record his first Test century since scoring 109 not out against Bangladesh in Dhaka in March (1/16 not to).
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "It was disappointing to see Cook fail to deliver the goods once again. He now need's an instrumental knock in England's second innings if he's going to keep his place for the first Ashes Test especially with the form that Michael Carberry and Adam Lyth are showing week in week out on the county circuit."
