I am using the SIFT implementation of Andrea Vedaldi, to calculate the sift descriptors of two images. But I would like to know if it is possible to predict where the object will be in next image, using SIFT descriptors.

It is possible.
In fact, There is a method called HOG. HOG 's descriptors is a upgraded version of SIFT's descriptors.
The HOG algorithm has been widely used in detection.

Yes it is possible, but SIFT descriptors are just one part of the method and not very related to prediction, but to detection.
You need to use SIFT for detection.
Once you detect the object, you preform the prediction step and update step with, for example, Kalman Filter.
