Expecting an outcome is based on background knowledge or experience, with a high degree of probability of certainty of the outcome. Assuming is more risky since the background knowledge may be erroneous or misleading and the experience be too biased or too limited to provide a high degree of probability of outcome.

Expect is more of a cognitive activity
Assume is more an emotional activity
Expect is usually based on proof from our knowledge
Assue is usually based on gut feeling

Expecting means you want something to happened. Assuming means you make factors that influenced the result.

Expecting means that you anticipate an outcome but it's not certain. Assuming means that you have already decided what you believe the expected outcome will be.

expect - looking forward to something that should happen.. you're expecting a phone call because someone told you they were going to call, you're expecting a baby because you're pregnant, you expect an apology when someone does something mean...
assume- to expect something not because it should happen, but because you want it to happen

when expecting you know that something is gonna happen & assuming means predicting the unknown.
