Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Sett, ranking 18th (versus 54th for Riven) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Riven player to maintain constant pressure on Sett, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
