True. 2 point gap is a very close difference. The position of Inter Milan and Juventus can be changed in 1-2 matches only. I agree that there are still many matches left, but it is not a very early season. We are already in matchday 13 now, we can see it clearly which team to join the race for the title and which team to be in the relegation zone. However, no one can predict which team to win the title when it is still the first half of the season. Moreover, both Inter Milan Juventus looks to have the same chance to win it. Both of them can maintain their good performance so far.
The race for title will be clearer after Champions League goes to its knock out rounds and if Inter Milan continue to exists in Champions League that time. They will have to spend part of their focus on Champions League. Juventus, oppositely, will only play in Serie A and they will completely focus on it that is big difference compares to Inter Milan. This race can have participation of AC Milan too if they can not go to next rounds of Champions League. They currently don't have too good position in their Champions League group. If AC Milan will no longer play at Champions League, they will focus more on Serie A and can challenge both Inter Milan and Juventus for Scudetto.
The match between Lecce and AC Milan was not good at all for Pioli and his players because they lost two points in this match while AC Milan needed to earn the full three points from this game because of the race they have in the top of the table and in the other hand, Olivier Giroud got a red card and he is officially suspended from the two next games with his team.
AC Milan can't use Olivier Giroud against Fiorentina and Frosinone.

Did not get three points is not too bad for AC Milan but losing Giroud in next two matches because of the red card is worse for them. The striker is old but he is still very important for AC Milan. He has experienced, great skills and smart enough to smell open space, take opportunities from his team mates' passes and can convert those chances to goals for AC Milan. Giroud is a kind of very calm striker in front of opponent goalkeeper. Next two matches in Serie A will be very headache for Pioli as he has to figure out how to replace Giroud by another player or might have to chance attacking tactics a little bit.AC Milan can't use Olivier Giroud against Fiorentina and Frosinone.
