We all expected that he would win the match.

Explanation:

We need to use the word "would" here because the word "expected" expressly states that we are referring to an event that happened in the past.

If we attempted to use the phrase that contains will, which implies the present tense, we would have created a continuity error in our sentence.

Other acceptable phrases, just because.

We all expected him to win the match.
