Spurs' first European Cup match for almost half a century will be against Swiss side Young Boys following the play-off round draw in Nyon.
The two-leg tie was a dream pairing for Redknapp's side, who avoided much trickier clashes with the likes of Dynamo Kiev, Sampdoria, Auxerre and Braga.
Howver, the Tottenham boss insisted reaching the competition's lucrative group stage was not a foregone conclusion, with Young Boys having stunned Fenerbahce in the previous round.
"We'll be favourites, obviously, but we have to give them the utmost respect," Redknapp told his club's official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com.
"They beat Fenerbahce in the last round and we watched the first leg on DVD and they could have won four or five; they hammered them at home.
"They then went away and won in Turkey and that's a fantastic result. There are no easy games at this level. They also have an Astroturf pitch at their stadium and they play well on it, so it will be a tough game for us."
