World Cup 2026 Betting Tip of the Day: Son Set to Play Starring Role When South Korea Face Czechia
Ben McAleer
South Korea take on Czechia in the early hours of Friday morning (UK Time) to round off the first matchday in Group A of the 2026 World Cup.
In an incredibly open group, the winner of this clash would be in for a great chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the tournament.
And Taegeuk Warriors will look to their talisman to secure an opening three points against their European counterparts.
Son Heung-Min will take part in his final World Cup and the South Korea captain will hope to bow out on a high.
The 33-year-old is expected to be South Korea’s star man once more and is 9/2 on LiveScore Bet to provide an assist against Czechia on Friday*.
Son is yet to score for LAFC in MLS this season, but tops the assist leaderboard with eight to his name.
Additionally, Sub Payout also comes into effect, meaning if Son comes off, the bet will transfer over to the player who replaces the former Tottenham Hotspur man.
Back Son Heung-Min to register an assist in South Korea vs Czechia
*Odds correct as of 9/6/26
