Narrative:
Coming in to land expecting [runway] xxr into ZZZ. Had current ATIS and noticed xxs were landing; we set up for [runway] xxr. All ops were normal. We were cleared for the visual and read back for [runway] xxr; we expected an aircraft we were following to land for [runway] xxl. That aircraft lined up for for [runway] xxr instead; and when we switched to tower; we emphasized for [runway] xxr and were nearly lined up with it. They cleared us to land for [runway] xxl; we queried them and they said and emphasized for [runway] xxl. They said the other aircraft was for [runway] xxr and we should be for [runway] xxl; so we switched to the other runway. Both tower and us emphasized for [runway] xxl; we both agreed on it; and we switched the frequency for an otherwise uneventful visual for [runway] xxl landing.apparently ATC and we had different ideas on who was doing what. We understood that the prior aircraft was landing for [runway] xxl and we were landing for [runway] xxr and read back for [runway] xxr as far as I remember. It was clear there was an error somewhere so we verified and corrected it with tower.without hearing the recordings of the conversations from approach; tower; and us; I don't have a suggestion. It may have been simply an expectation bias on our part or maybe a simple mistake somewhere. I felt like we handled it fine and adjusted because we saw the aircraft ahead and it didn't look right.
