Uganda head coach Paul Put has made three changes to the starting lineup for the second leg of the CHAN Qualifiers against Burundi at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo.

Gideon Odongo, Joel Sserunjogi, and Milton Karisa have been introduced into the starting XI, replacing Derrick Ndahiro, Paul Mbowa, and Nana Kwikiriza.

Rogers Torach and Hillary Mukundane remain as the central defensive pairing, while Saidi Mayanja and captain Allan Okello retain their places in midfield, joined by Sserunjogi.

In attack, Jude Ssemugabi and Isaac Ogwang are joined by Karisa, who adds fresh energy to the forward line.

Joel Mutakubwa continues as the first-choice goalkeeper, providing stability at the back.

Uganda heads into the match with a slim advantage, having edged Burundi 1-0 in the first leg, thanks to Ogwang’s decisive goal.

The Cranes will look to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a spot in the next round.
