unsurprisingly
To no shock
Unsurprisingly introduces something that follows expectably from what came before: Unsurprisingly, the team that practiced more won.
The word signals that what follows confirms rather than challenges expectations.
It often carries a note of resignation or mild criticism: He unsurprisingly forgot our anniversary again.
