If you are referring to "nervous" as anxious, then it is definitely when it is expected beforehand.

Anxiety develops in a mind that has already thought over consequences of actions or events that have unfolded in the past, are presently, or will unfold in the future.

The human body develops stress and anxiety when they're given adequate time to think something over logically before it happens. If something unexpected occurs, there's no time for the brain to recognize and reason it to be a threat. If it doesn't have time to process what is happening, then emotion and anxiety occurs only after the event has passed.

A buildup of anxiety and nervousness occurs on a larger scale when it is expected.

It varies from person to person, but typically people feel more nervous when something unexpected happens because they are caught off guard and may not have had time to prepare emotionally or mentally. When you expect something to happen, you may still feel nervous, but there is a sense of anticipation that can help mitigate those feelings.

Why aren't unexpected and unpredictable similar words?

Because one is past tense and one is future tense. Unexpected refers to something that has already happened - for example 'The sudden cold snap was unexpected'. Unpredictable relates to something unknown that might happen in the future - for example 'The value of the top lottery prize is unpredictable, because it depends on the number of players'
