expected.

Please help me explain why people used "expected" in the sentence.

"The manager expected the team to lose because they hadn't done enough training."

Thanks.

Because the meaning is appropriate here, Minhuoc-- expect : consider reasonable or due; regard something as probable or likely. There is no other reason that I can think of.
