Essex Police is to step up monitoring of the most dangerous domestic abusers in the county ahead of the World Cup.
A total of 107 people, including seven women, are to be targeted in order to prevent them causing more harm to their prospective victims.
The force has pointed to academic research which shows officers across the UK could see incidents rise by at least one quarter when England fail to win and jump by at least 33 per cent when England lose.
This is the equivalent of an extra 22 domestic incidents when England lose or draw and 33 when England lose.
Essex Police will roll out Operation Shield, using a data mining tool to identify those who pose the greatest risk to their victims.
Detective Superintendent Ewen Wilson said: "There are a number of reasons why the rise in domestic abuse is linked to the times when England are playing a match.
"These can include such things as stress, poor anger management mental health issues, depression and substance abuse.
"In addition, emotional stressors are combined with situational factors - the tournament is held in the summer and is associated with warmer temperatures and increased alcohol consumption and fans can often identify with team success or failure as if it was their own, which can have an impact on their behaviour."
In June 2013 the average number of domestic incidents was 84 per day and police are concerned that this could rise to more than 100 incidents a day on days when England is playing.
Extra double and single crewed cars will be put in place during and after all England matches and the following day.
