They expect the Universe to continue expanding. Right now, the evidence is that the expansion is speeding up. They also expect entropy to continue increasing, so in the distant future, there will not be any free energy left to support life, for example. They also expect quite a few other things; the Wikipedia article on the "future of the Universe" can give you some ideas.
Astronomers, physicists
Cosmologists
They study the physical universe considered as a totality of phenomena in time and space.
At present cosmologists think that dark energy is ripping the universe apart despite the force of gravity so the answer would be NO. However some cosmologists do not accept that dark energy is real and if this is true the answer would be "we do not yet know".
Cosmologists study the science of cosmology. This field covers elements of the universe including astrophysics as well as time/space issues.

Early philosophers were called cosmologists because they were primarily concerned with understanding the natural world, the universe, and the origins of everything in it. They focused on developing theories about the structure of the cosmos and the fundamental principles governing the world around them.

This question has been giving nightmares to cosmologists for years.But with the current evidences, scientists have determined that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate and it will expand forever.
This is a broad topic. Briefly: The average existentialist would take for granted that science can explain the origins of the universe and its eventual fate. Physical cosmologists hold that the universe is governed by physical laws as distinguished from religious understandings of humanity and the universe.
